Rita Gray has compiled twenty poems about precipitation, each written by
well-known poets such as Kyoshi, Eve Merriam, Lilian Moore, and Carl
Sandburg. Divided into poems written about rain within each of the four
seasons, this compilation offers the reader a chance to revel in the
beauty of precipitation and the poetry it inspires. The variety of poems
opens the door for discussion of poetic styles, while Ryan O'Rourke's
playful yet sophisticated illustrations will appeal to readers of all
ages.
