From Our Collection

The drop-dead gorgeous, vibrant illustrations in this selection — by Jon Muth, better known for Zen Shorts and The Three Questions — perfectly complement the prose. The language here is for lovers of language, those readers who appreciate holding words in their mouths, and the story — of the rejuvenating power of the rain to make us feel new again, even the mothers of young daughters — is for the sentimental. A lovely read.
