Book Details
A stunning picture book by Leslie Helakoski and illustrated by Keisha Morris about resilience, survival, and hope found in community.
When the rain came down and the water rose up . . .
thousands fled but many couldn’t leave.
When the rain came down and the water rose up . . .
a community came together.
When the rain came down and the water rose up . . .
hope grew from heartache.
With lyrical text and evocative illustrations, When the Rain Came Down spreads a powerful message of resilience through community building after the tides of a natural disaster and captures the incredible strength of shared humanity even on the darkest days.
