I love the grandfather and grandson having fun spending time with each other in the rain. Sheth crafts a beautiful story about a grandfather-grandson relationship during India’s monsoon season. A young boy wants to play in the rain, but his entire family appears to be too busy. His dadaji (grandfather) comes to the rescue and together they sail paper boats, swing on a banyon tree and get sassed by dadima (grandma) to dry off before they catch cold. The watercolor illustrations are gorgeous and fluid, fitting perfectly with the story. Within the text there are many teachable moments that could lend well to story time, from life in India to a different type of seasonal weather and even the passage of time. That last one is the most poignant, shown in the boy’s interest in whether his grandfather had the same experiences he is having right now, and whether he will do them as a grandfather in the future. At the end of the book the author also includes a few paragraphs explaining her own childhood in India to expand further on what monsoon season in India, which ma y interest older children. It’s a great book to introduce children age 4-7 to a new culture or remind a child of their home country. Highly Recommended. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
