artful illustrations....Memorable and instructive without a hint of
didacticism.--Kirkus Reviews ★ Starred ReviewThe
weather has never been worse. The man with the stormy heart is soaked and he's
going to be late! His mood is as black as the sky. Outside a nearby patisserie, a little boy stands under
wind snatches the man's umbrella and drops it at the child's feet, can this
hasty curmudgeon slow down long enough for an unlikely friendship to blossom?Catherine
Buquet's touching debut in lyrical rhyme, accompanied by Marion Arbona's bold
and stylish illustrations, celebrates intergenerational friendship and the
magic of sharing. It also reminds children and adults alike that bright moments
can be found on even the gloomiest of days.
★ STARRED REVIEW Pithy poetry pairs with artful
illustrations...Arbona's
fantastical illustrations play with perspective, shape, and pops of bright
color that enliven scenes primarily composed of black, gray, and white.
Buquet's text is translated into well-crafted verse by Woods. Memorable and
instructive without a hint of didacticism.--Kirkus Reviews ★ Starred
