About the Book

Wherever he goes, Rain Boy brings wet – which means he’s not very popular. Sun Kidd brings sunshine everywhere she goes, so everyone loves her. Only Sun Kidd sees what’s special about Rain Boy. But when she invites him to her birthday party, disaster strikes, and Rain Boy storms. Now the world is nothing but rain. Will the other kids ever love Rain Boy for being himself? And more importantly, can Rain Boy learn to love his rain? Debut author and illustrator Dylan Glynn’s vibrant and evocative illustrations colour this story with all the emotions of the rainbow in this universal story of isolation, individuality, and self-love.

About the Author :
Dylan Glynn is based in Toronto and studied animation at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, and La PoudriEre in Valence, France. His work has been recognised and exhibited by Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, Somerset House, and the Canadian Screen Awards.

Review :
"Author-illustrator Glynn literalizes weather metaphor to tell a story about acceptance. . . . [T]he art is gorgeous. . . . Expressive use of watercolor, pastels, and colored pencil, in a naive style, stunningly paints a fable with blotchy colors evoking the emotional extremes represented by sunshine and rain clouds. A lovely, if purposeful, tool for early social-emotional learning."-Booklist "Glynn's watercolor, cut-paper, pastel, and colored-pencil caricatures and tableaux channel both a delightfully childlike aesthetic and emotionally charged expressionism. Captivating visuals will prompt conversations about the feelings and choices of victim, friend, and community."--Kirkus Reviews "Rain Boy and Sun Kidd represent the sunny and rainy dispositions inherent in every human. Detailed watercolor illustrations coupled with succinct text make this book accessible to a wide range of ages. . . . . Children and caregivers will be inspired to interpret its deeper meaning. This is a critical addition to elementary collections to build empathy and acceptance."-School Library Journal, Starred Review "The straightforward text is relatable and honest, while Glynn's naïve watercolour, cut paper, pastel, and coloured pencil illustrations are prismatic and surreal...Reflective and multilayered, this picture book is a potent fable about acceptance and appreciation of differences."-Quill Quire, Starred Review
