“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
