  <default-description>This wordless picture book captures the beauty and wonder of a brother and sister's joyous experiences in the rain. Come along as they explore their neighborhood, splash through puddles, see where the animals hide, and make footprints in the mud. From the first small drops of rain to the clear blue sky of a bright new morning, &lt;i&gt;Peter Spier's Rain&lt;/i&gt; will delight parents and children again and again.</default-description>
