About this book
Three days of rain are enough to turn little Flora's temper cloudy. The youngest child in her family, known as Baby Pitcher, envies the older children's freedom to go outside. When she notices her mother's sadness, she offers a story of her own, and her mother answers with a tale that turns their house into a palace. Their exchange makes kindness and a child's imagination part of an ordinary wet afternoon.
Carrie L. May's children's story follows Flora among her mother, sister Amy, Bertie, Charley and Grandma. Short chapters and plentiful conversation give room to her earnest misunderstandings and quick changes of feeling. Outdoor episodes also bring the children into contact with animals, including a muskrat Bertie has caught. Readers interested in older family stories can find both affectionate teaching and a less sheltered picture of children's daily experiences.
