When the rain came down and the water rose up . . . thousands fled but many couldn't leave. When the rain came down and the water rose up . . . a community came together. When the rain came down and the water rose up . . . hope grew from heartache. When the rain stopped, volunteers helped families get to safety. The sun rose and workers helped clear debris, provided food, and rebuilt houses. Neighbors encouraged each other, and slowly, joy, healing, and music found its way back into the city. With lyrical text and evocative illustrations, When the Rain Came Down spreads a powerful message of resilience through community-building after a natural disaster and captures the incredible strength of shared humanity even on the darkest days.
Industry Reviews
"Verse and visuals help readers imagine the devastation of flooding, the hope brought by the helpers, and the long path toward healing...An intimate image of community and the rising tides of climate change." --Kirkus Reviews
