Ethan is a young raindrop living a very content life floating in a cloud with his brothers and sisters. But a trip over the big blue ocean brings a huge event that changes his life forever. Alerted by his brother that they are needed on the ground, young Ethan is afraid of what may be in store for him.
"What I will be? Where I will go?" asks Ethan.
His brother kindly replies, "Whether a drop of rain or a flake of snow, you'll be what you'll be, and when you know, you'll know."
Nervous and anxious, Ethan begins an incredible journey down into the vastness of the world. He discovers that even though he doesn't always have complete control over what happens, he always ends up where he's supposed to be.
For fans of Pat Zietlow Miller and Kate Messner, "Ethan the Raindrop: Away from Home and Back Again" is an exciting tale about finding your place in the world.
I won this book through a giveaway....Wonderful children's book! My kids loved the rhyming and all the beautiful illustrations! Great moral about no matter how small you are, you can make a difference!
My mom works with the author of the book and signed it for my little girl for Christmas. We both adore the book and I highly recommend it especially for kids her age (3)!
The art work was very nice and would appeal to children. The story was interesting but tended to focus on Entan's fear. He finally learns that he is a part of the big picture.
