PreS-Gr 3–“Bring me your boots, you stompers and jumpers./ Bring me your leaves, you wind-rattled trees.” Who is narrating this divine glimpse of children, who are variously Asian, brown, and white, riotously clomping, skipping, and whirling through a rainy day? The puddle, of course.

A solid ode to childhood’s passion of viewing a silky surface and destroying it.
