Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of adult responsibilities or feeling helpless during a family crisis, especially a sibling's illness. This whimsical yet grounded story follows eleven-year-old Polly on her family's magical rhubarb farm, where it rains every Monday until the day the magic stops and her brother falls mysteriously ill. It is a beautiful exploration of how a child's inner courage and sense of responsibility can bloom even when the adults around them are struggling. Using the farm's drought as a metaphor for family tension, the story helps children aged 8 to 12 process complex emotions regarding change and the fear of losing what is familiar. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's perspective in a world that often feels out of their control.
