A curious girl and her trusty pup are brave adventurers on a rainy afternoon in the countryside. They venture out of warmth and into a wuthering, wild day, delighting in the sights, sounds, and creatures they meet. In the thick of the storm, they find safety in each other. They return home, a little bit changed, for a hard-earned fireside nap.

As a kid growing up in woodsy Northeast Pennsylvania, I loved the sensory experience of rainy days: the feeling of pulling on a slick raincoat, the smell of wet grass, the glow of arriving back at a cozy house. In Rainy Day, I wanted to tell a story about finding adventure in the everyday, finding freedom in independence, and finding home.
