SUMMARY

It’s a dreary Thursday and Big Bob Fox, Sunnyville’s happiest and most popular weatherman, is having a very bad day. From his perch behind the weather desk at Sunnyville TV station, Big Bob has been delivering the same forecast for years. You see, in this strange and special little town, the weather never changes. Then, just as the cameras started to roll, Bob sat up straight, and exclaimed: “Well folks…it’s going to be another bea-uuu-tiful day!”

Cloudy with a Chance of Rain, is a magical tale that celebrates the need for understanding and inclusion while touching upon the current challenges many of our children face and their journey to overcome.  The book explores the power of a heartfelt wish to shake-up the die-cast routines and traditions of a community, while setting in motion  powerful ripples of creative change and transformation.

The story’s action focuses on two very different communities—the quaint and comfortable little town of Sunnyville, while the other is located high, high in the sky above the earth in a magical place called Cloud Land. The collision between the two sets off a domino-like adventure propelled by an age-old secret, a funny and popular weatherman who is actually a weather wizard; a lovable little cloud who, try as he might, cannot manage to fit into the patterns set by his parents; and a surprise weather snafu that sparks a revolt in both worlds.

As young readers, ages 8-11, turn the pages of Cloudy with a chance of Rain, they will discover a diverse and colorful cast of characters ranging from lovable to love-to-hate to downright weird. Speaking of weird, did you know about the strange quirks that take over Big Bob’s body during his weather show, sending his TV viewers into peals of laughter? Meet little Arthur “Puf Puf” Cloud whose bad grades and comical antics always land him in hot water with his teachers and parents. Then there’s Twinkie Star, the great “twinkeler” and puzzle-maker whose loose cannon of a tongue has a hair trigger. Meet his son, Shooter who can’t hold his star patterns because he’s too eager to “shoot off’ and do his own thing.  The list goes on, but we can’t leave out Mr. Moonie and his two cut-ups—Crescent and Quarter—who just can’t seem to fit in anywhere. To let Twinkie Star tell it: “Even when you squash those two together, they still can’t make a full moon.”  Cloudy with a chance of Rain is a story of triumph for parents and kids.
