About this listen

From the bestselling author of What Can a Mess Make? comes a charming audiobook about a brother and sister who discover the unexpected delights of life's in-between moments while running errands with their mother.

This audiobook features sound design and special effects to enhance your listening enjoyment. Listen out for the sounds of the farmers market and the patter of rain on the sidewalk!

With joyful rhymes, this audiobook invites listeners to discover beauty in patience and cherish the opportunity of boredom.

Thunder rumbles.
Clouds hang low.
No umbrella!
Where to go?

Speckled sidewalk.
Stormy weather.
While we wait,
we squeeze together.

Filled with the highs and lows of a long day out, this story gently reminds us of the joy in simple moments spent together.

"Karissa Vacker's gentle voice ripples with mirth."—AudioFile on What Can a Mess Make?

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Co. (BYR)
