From international rock star Kevin Jonas and Danielle Jonas comes an imagination-focused picture book about how to overcome the rainy-day doldrums and find the fun in every situation.

Bella loves the beach.

She loves the flip and flop slap of her feet on the sand.
She loves the crash, crash, crash of the ocean waves. 
And she loves the gentle shush, shush of the beach umbrella in the breeze.

But a rainstorm hits and Bella’s perfect family beach day is ruined. 

This day is a rainy, awful mess!

But maybe a little imagination, and a loving family, can show Bella that a beach day at home can be its own special kind of fun.
COURTNEY DAWSON is an illustrator and picture book artist living in the sunny little town of Ventura, California. She has a deep love of reading, her mom's chilaquiles, and most kinds of ice cream. When she's not working, she can be found riding her bike, painting to Sam Cooke's music, or enjoying a rainy day with her partner, her baby, and her cute cat, Tuesday. View titles by Courtney Dawson
