A young girl, her mother, and her grandmother embark on a rainy day
adventure in this engrossing story of discovery and wonder, inspired by
a true story.
There's nothing to do on a rainy day--or so Ally thinks. But Mama says
she's seen something amazing, so despite Ally's misgivings, she sets out
on an adventure with her mother and grandmother.
On their journey, she sees all sorts of things: dripping awnings, wet
cardboard, splashing cars...but also earthworms, storm drain geysers,
and oil slick patterns. And then they turn the corner, just in time to
see a big crowd. What's happening?
Lyrical text from Sandra Markle and stunning paintings from New York
Times best-selling illustrator Thomas Gonzalez tell a captivating,
multigenerational story of a toad migration, inspired by the real-life
Toad Detour in Roxborough, Pennsylvania.
