Toad Weather by Sandra Markle

5.0

A mother urges her reluctant mom and daughter outside into a rainy evening, walking through town to where volunteers are helping dozens of toads cross a road. It's based on a real-life annual migration of toads in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia. I especially loved the grumpy petulance of the grandmother who doesn't want to get wet, and the persistent enthusiasm of the mom that spreads to the little girl and eventually even to the grandmother.

Thomas Gonzalez is the illustrator, and his artwork is amazing!
