Pitter Patter

About the Book

Pitter Patter is about the spring rains that mark the change in the seasons. The characters in this book use all five senses to describe the rain as they celebrate the season of Spring. This book is dedicated to my daughter, Joycia. Her love for playing instruments inspired me to make even the rhythm of raindrops musical.
