The Purpose of Paulie: A Raindrop's Journey to Courage

By Jonathon Parrish

What if raindrops were alive?

And what if one of them-named Paulie-was afraid to fall?

Meet Paulie, a timid little raindrop who would rather stay safe on his cloud than take the leap of faith that every raindrop was created for. But when a wise old raindrop with a fluffy white beard shares a story about courage, purpose, and the beauty that comes from giving oneself for others, Paulie discovers that even the smallest drop can make a big difference.

Told in gentle rhymes and brought to life through soft watercolor illustrations, The Purpose of Paulie: A Raindrop's Journey to Courage is a heartwarming story about faith, courage, and finding purpose in life's falls. Perfect for bedtime reading or classroom story time, this tale invites children and adults alike to see the world with wonder-and to believe that every leap has meaning.

Themes: courage, purpose, selflessness, and hope

Perfect for ages: 5-10 (and the child in every heart)

Take the leap with Paulie-and discover the beautiful melody that only brave raindrops can create.
