Summary:
"Rain can be both one of the most important and the most damaging weather events on Earth. Young readers are likely familiar with rain from splashing in puddles, but they may wonder why it happens. This exciting title features a fun illustrated character that guides young learners through a journey of learning not only about how rain is formed but also the impact it has on people worldwide. This includes the role of rain in the water cycle, how it is necessary for growing important crops such as rice, and how it can cause serious damage when part of weather events such as flooding and monsoons. All of this content aims to enhance early elementary Earth Science curricula. This relatable and engaging title is complete with eye-catching full-color photos, questions that stimulate reader connections, a diagram of what to wear in the rain, and a vocabulary-building glossary."-- Provided by publisher.
