The day is gloomy and rainy. Andrea and Leah so want to be outside instead of the in the house. What can they possibly do when they cannot do what they really want to do? Sometimes a day turns out a lot different than you think it is going to. And sometimes children end up doing the most unexpected things.
 
Peter Ruehlicke lives in Woodstock, Ontario with his wife Madeline. Daughters Andrea and Leah used to live with them in Kitchener when they were the ages of the children in this book, but that was quite a while ago, and they have long since moved out on their own.
