Things That Sing in the Rain

By James and Marva James

Rain becomes music in this gentle, joyful picture book about friendship, imagination, and the rhythms found in everyday moments.

When the clouds gather and the first drops begin to fall, Marvin rushes outside to join his friends Lena and Diego. What starts as a simple rainy-day adventure quickly turns into a symphony of sound and movement. Boots tap, umbrellas twirl, puddles splash, and laughter rises louder than the storm.

Together, the children discover that rain has its own song-one you can feel in your hands, hear in the puddles, and share with the people you love. As they stomp, spin, listen, and imagine, the world around them becomes a playful orchestra of rhythm and wonder. Back home, Marvin captures the magic of the day in his journal, carrying the music with him long after the clouds drift away.

Perfect for ages 3-7, this story celebrates:

The sensory joy of rainy daysFriendship and shared imaginationMindfulness and listening to the world around usCreativity, movement, and outdoor play

Warm, lyrical, and full of heart, Things That Sing in the Rain invites young readers to slow down, listen closely, and discover the music hidden in nature.
