In this quietly affecting story, award-winning author Hesse and artist Muth deftly capture the magnificence of a sudden rainstorm on a swelteringly hot day. Much more than a simple tale of weather, Come On, Rain! Also portrays the tendermess of mother-daughter relations, the ryhthms of urban society, and the power of nature to transform and reinvigorate all forms of life. "A wonderful sense of atmosphere."--Horn Book.
