A lovely story about making the best of things. The illustrations are delightful too. My thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to review a digital copy.

This book was nice. It contained a big message and had lovely illustrations.
It just had a few words that failed to maintain my younger sister's interest.
Thank you Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC!

Lavy’s Rainy Day is a story that teaches both kids and parents about the importance of finding the “gift” or silver lining in a bad situation. In this case Lavy is asked to find the gift when her park play day with mom is ruined by rain. The story is a great reminder for kids but I think the wording is a bit long and dry and most kids in the age range this book is written for will lose interest.

This book was cute however the illustrations really creeped me out. I couldn't get past the looks of Levy to truly enjoy the story.

Thank s NetGally and Indigo River Publishing for an advanced copy.

What a bummer! Lavy's plans of going to the park are ruined. But she and Mama make a rainy day plan of spending time together. Full of activities that a parent and child can do together.

Lavy's day at the park gets rained out but through out the book she discovers that you can still have when it rains. Just in a different way.

Awfully cloying, this look at a young girl who wanted to go to the park for the day – picnic, swings, fair enough – but finds it rained off, needed a lot of improvement. For one thing even I found the small-p politics of it all provocative – the way the mother is supposed to always be on hand, creative and educational. The girl gets to wash up for the first time as she's such a big and wonderful daughter now, but the mother has to create the den, read the stories out, lead the cookie making session, and then magic up an indoor picnic and surprises for the ungrateful missy with her second pair of hands. How much shit has to be put away when the girl's finally out of the picture for the night I dread to think. But just as sinfully, the storytelling just could not work out whether to use the present tense of the verb or the past – its grammar in the file I received was all over the place. Correcting that would take minutes, but what I saw left me feeling the whole thing needed a rethink – if the girl is supposed to grow into someone knowing how easy it is to survive a rainy day, let her learn how to do it for herself and not be spoonfed idea after activity after cookie, by some wondermum with nothing better to do.

Thank you, Indigo River Publishing, for the advance reading copy.

This story is for me and my future kids I feel! Because this is the exact story for a rainy day with the kids that would happen.

When kids feel bored or anxious feeling that rainy days are such a waste not letting them able to do different other activities they want to do, this book tells exactly how to engage the kids in other fun and fulfilling activities at home.

And I am exactly the kind of parent the book has!

The illustrations are life life and water colurs have never been this expressive!

A nice story with a lovely message. My daughter was probably too old for this story but she did still enjoy it.

This book was good. It had a great message and beautiful illustrations.
As a parent though this book lost my kids interest quickly. It was very drawn out and a few too many words too keep younger kids engaged.

This is a charming book with lovely illustrations. I read it to my 4 year old daughter. She really enjoyed this story.

The one issue I had with the book is that it mixes past and present tense a lot, which made reading it out loud confusing at times. Also the name Lavy is new the me and I wasn't sure how it should be pronounced.

A positive message to children and adults alike for us to see the good (gift) in things even when the don't go as planned.

I'll be reading this again to my daughter. The cat being included in the story was great too.

A sweet story about a little girl who feels sad when the rain ruins her special day at the park with her mom. As the story unfolds, Lavy learns that it's okay to feel sad, but comes to understand that she can still have a special day with her mom even her original plans changed.
I think it's a great book to help children learn to recognize their feelings and learn how to cope with them. I also think it can help children see the silver lining in situations,
The only thing I didn't love about this book is the illustrations. The style wasn't for me, but they are bright and colorful which children will enjoy.
Thank you NetGalley and Indigo River Publishing for the opportunity to read this eARC.
