"Benjamin loves the rain. He loves splashing in puddles and kicking the droplets. And most of all, he loves the sound of thunder because it reminds him of the drum his grandfather plays at powwow. There's nothing better than being outside in the rain, enjoying all the colors and sounds of the storm -- until the lightning comes. Benjamin doesn't like the lightning at all! But when he closes his eyes and listens to the sound of the thunder, he imagines himself as a powwow dancer, dancing in time to the beat of the drum, not scared of anything. Featuring Cree words interwoven into the story, and a pronunciation guide in backmatter, this inviting picture book is a warm celebration of drumming, dancing and the joy of jumping in puddles"-- Provided by publisher.
