A  hot day suddenly turns into a downpour of rain. 

Redniss’s  red and blue color palette  contrasts nicely with each other and helps you feel the heat and cool, as well. This book is a fun way to look at symbolism for younger kids. While we approach the world getting hotter every year and weather becoming more and more difficult to approach, this book uses a more artistic exploration of the topic. I would recommend for younger kids, especially those interested in art.
