Why read it?
1 author picked Rain Before Rainbows as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A pet can be a powerful companion, which is why I've always adored books that convey the relationship between a person and their animal and how a furry friend can help us out of our darkest times. Written with a song-like rhyme and with animals portraying friendship, help, and hope, it tells the story of a girl and her companion fox, illustrated colorfully. I particularly like the background scenes. The book undoubtedly runs from a troubled stage to a place of hope.
From Kevin's list on fables with moral through the eyes of animals.
