The Day It Rained is a simply delightful story which opens with little Jamelah sharing her excitement for something she’s waited long and hard for--the Fair.
The Day It Rained allows for an intimate peek into the world of Alzheimer’s Disease through the eyes of one little girl whose disappointment is surprisingly dissolved through the unexpected time she shares with her grandmother.
With her beautiful illustrations, Dr. Yemonja Smalls presents a book that offers unique opportunities for open communication with young people about what it means to love someone with Alzheimer's. While aimed at the elementary school-aged crowd, the book reaches to touch the hearts of not only the children who read it, but their families and caretakers as well. The Day It Rained seeks to present the reader with thoughts of how to let go and love differently, enjoying those unplanned and unscripted moments that remind us to love even through all that Alzheimer’s Disease sometimes makes us forget.
