Hip, Hip, Hooray, It's Monsoon Day! / ¡Ajúa, ya llegó el chubasco!

Children will see, hear, smell and taste the summer rains of the desert southwest in Roni Capin Rivera-Ashford's charming new picture book. They will also hear some local legends about wet weather and meet some rain-loving desert animals, as well as an engaging family who waits for and rejoices in the rain."

author of The Tortoise and the Jackrabbit/La tortuga y la liebre, The Three Little Javelinas/Los tres pequeñitos jabalíes, and many other stories for children
