My Rainy Day

<b>This luminous picture book captures the beauty and surprises of a rainy day.<br> <br>In her third story for young readers, Joanne Liu once again shows the world through a child’s eyes. Following <i>My Museum</i> and <i>My City,</i> she turns her bold, expressive style to a wordless story set in the rain.</b><br><br>The silent book follows Max, the little boy from her previous books, who is navigating the city on a stormy afternoon.<br><br>On his way to meet his father, he rides past a park, a football field, and a fruit stand, each transformed by the downpour. A tumble in the street nearly interrupts his journey, but nothing can dampen his determination—or the quiet companionship of the snail that shadows him on every page.<br><br>When father and son are finally reunited, the storm has passed, and together they notice small, sparkling details that only a rainy day reveals.<br><br>Liu works in bold blocks of color and simplified forms, often with flat planes and playful shifts in perspective that echo a child’s way of seeing. Her graphic, design-driven approach gives each spread a clarity and rhythm that needs no words.<br><br>Children will delight in searching for the snail, while adults will admire the freshness and immediacy of Liu’s visual storytelling. A book to be shared, explored, and returned to, it proves that even the gloomiest day can shine with unexpected wonder.
