Mommy, Mommy, Where Do They Go When It Rains? By: Natalie Wemmer Mommy, Mommy, Where Do They Go When It Rains? is a special book that was written in a time that was very difficult for Natalie Wemmer and her family. Her mother had just moved in and was dying of cancer. One day Natalie was looking out the window with her daughter while it was raining, and her daughter started asking about where the birds go when it rains. It was a special moment between the two, and this book was created to recreate that special bond between a mother and child.

Illustrations and simple text describe what different animals do when it rains.

From the author of the New York Times bestseller Fish in a Tree comes a compelling story about perspective and learning to love the family you have. Delsie loves tracking the weather--lately, though, it seems the squalls are in her own life. She's always lived with her kindhearted Grammy, but now she's looking at their life with new eyes and wishing she could have a "regular family." Delsie observes other changes in the air, too--the most painful being a friend who's outgrown her. Luckily, she has neighbors with strong shoulders to support her, and Ronan, a new friend who is caring and courageous but also troubled by the losses he's endured. As Ronan and Delsie traipse around Cape Cod on their adventures, they both learn what it means to be angry versus sad, broken versus whole, and abandoned versus loved. And that, together, they can weather any storm.

Shows how important learning is in a country where only a few children are able to go to school.
