What happens when a hurricane hits a community?  Do people work together and help save each other?  What happens after the hurricane is over?  These questions and more are answered in this picture book for younger children.

When the Rain Came Down has lyrical text and eye catching illustrations.  It teaches students about the effects of natural disasters in an interesting way.  The text on each page is minimal and would be a good read aloud for younger grades.  This book is a great example of resilience and helping others. Many races are represented in this book.
