Children Who Dance in the Rain is a sweet children’s book by Susan Justice. I thought this was a sweet book that teaches children, as well as, adults the important lessons of being kind and gracious. I thought the characters were good role models for the readers to see how they can change the world around them. I loved getting a chance to take this journey to India with Sophie and her family. I believe this was a beautiful and heartwarming book to read. It was quite the adventure to take with my own children and spending time with them as they ask questions all throughout.
Children Who Dance in the Rain is beautifully illustrated by the talented artist. Lena Bardy. Their pictures perfectly go with the author’s tale and words on each page. I thought they were a wonderful addition and helpful for readers to keep interested in the book.

I am giving Children Who Dance in the Rain a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of three and eight. It would make a wonderful placement in elementary classrooms and / or in a public children’s library. I would love to see what other delightful children’s stories Susan Justice has in store for her young readers.

I received a hard cover copy of Children Who Dance in the Rain from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion. ( )
