On the right side of the image, Girl stands outdoors on green grass with her arms spread wide, looking up at the sky with a big, joyful smile as rain falls around her. Gray rain clouds fill the sky above her, with white rain streaks coming down. Behind her are lush green bushes and shrubs. The left ~40% of the image is a plain pink watercolor-textured background, clear of any characters or detail. A small blue bird stands on the grass near Girl's feet, and a small green frog is also visible on the ground nearby.

Drip, drop! The rain falls and falls. Kim grins in the storm. 'Drip, drop, don't stop!' says Kim. A frog sits in the wet grass. 'This storm is the best,' Kim tells the frog. 'I love the rain!'

On the left side of the image, Girl stands in a doorway of a house, smiling and watching as rainwater pours off the roof gutter into a large bucket below. The scene is set outdoors during a rainstorm, with rain falling heavily, green trees in the background, and flowering bushes near the house. The right side of the image is plain gray background. An adult figure stands to the far left holding an umbrella, appearing to assist with collecting the rainwater.

The rain falls off the home top. Splash, splash! It fills the big bucket. Drop by drop, the bucket gets more and more full. 'Look!' calls Kim. 'We can catch it all before it stops!'

On the right side of the image, Mom sits cross-legged, eyes closed with a blissful smile, singing while playing a sitar. One hand reaches up to pluck the strings while the other is extended gracefully mid-song. The left side of the image is plain pale yellow background, providing open space for text. The indoor setting behind Mom is rendered in soft gray tones suggesting a rainy day outside.

Inside, Mom sits with the sitar. She sings a song for the storm. Strum, strum, tap, tap! The rain taps on the home top. 'The rain can sing,' says Kim.

On the left side of the image, Peacock stands with its tail feathers fanned out in a grand display, facing right. Just above and behind Peacock, Girl is running through the rain, clutching a book to her chest, wearing a backpack, with a slightly worried or hurried expression. Rain falls steadily across the scene. The setting is outdoors on a rainy day with green grass, small plants at ground level, and a gray overcast sky. The right ~40% of the image is plain green/gray background.

Kim runs home in the rain. Then Kim stops on the path. What is this? It has grand plumes, and it will not hide from the storm. Kim claps for it. Then Kim runs the rest of the way home.

On the right side of the image, Girl stands with her eyes closed and a contented smile, hands clasped near her chest as she savors the smell of cooking. Next to her on the right, a second child stands with arms open and a surprised, eager expression, also sniffing the air. Visible wispy steam trails from a doorway in the far right background where Mom stands stirring a large bowl in the kitchen with a ladle, with utensils hanging on the wall. A black cat sits between the two children on the floor. The scene is set indoors in a warm, cozy living room with framed pictures on the wall and a wooden cabinet. The left side of the image is plain background.

Mom has a hot dish for the kids. Sniff, sniff! It smells so nice. The black cat wants more of that smell. 'Wet days are best for a hot dish,' says Mom. Kim nods and nods.

Girl stands on the left side of the image in a lush green outdoor setting, smiling joyfully with her eyes closed and face tilted slightly upward. She is reaching out with one hand to touch a large, glistening leaf on a bush, examining the small white raindrops clinging to its surface. The scene is set on a bright, post-rain day with green grass, leafy clover-like bushes, and a soft pale sky. The right side of the image opens to a plain, light watercolor background.

Then the storm ends. No more drip. No more drop. Kim steps into the garden to explore. All the plants shine with little drops. 'The rain left this for us,' says Kim.

On the right side of the image, Girl stands beside a large, lush flowering tree in a suburban yard, looking up at it with a joyful, open-mouthed smile and one hand reaching out to touch its trunk. The tree has a full green canopy dotted with small pink flowers resembling little candles, and Girl is sheltering under its branches. A few last droplets drip from the leaves above her. The scene is set on a bright post-rain day with a soft, clearing sky, and the left side remains a plain warm-toned background.

Kim visits the big plant with pink dots. It is so tall and strong. All that rain supports it and helps it. One last drop falls on Kim. 'Drip, drop,' says Kim. 'Don't stop!'
