She’s thrilled to hear of her family’s upcoming trip to a magical place called India, a land she’s only heard of in stories. Once there, she quickly realizes that the underprivileged children living in the mud colony possess a joy and contentment she can’t explain. Sophie sets out on a journey of discovery, but what she finds may change her world forever. This tale about the true meaning of happiness and the power of gratitude is based on true events.

“How do children play without toys? How can they be happy in a third world setting mired in mud and offering so few opportunities? The lessons imparted in Children Who Dance in the Rain are invaluable not just because of their intrinsic importance, but because so few picture books tackle this expansive subject.By choosing a young character who is selfish and unaware and introducing her to a foreign environment where children with less opportunities still cultivate kindness and joy, Justice presents the kinds of life lessons essential for not just understanding, but encouraging valuable dialogue in family and classroom settings.” – The Midwest Book Review
