Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Weather Girls
Aki · 2018
75/100
👍 Worth It
Aki's sixteen diverse girls romping through all four seasons is visual joy — Kirkus called it irresistible, and the rhyming verse makes it a natural read-aloud pick for storytime or a seasons unit. The honest caveat is that this is a celebration, not a story; there's no real plot or character to follow. If you're looking for a vibrant, inclusive picture book that makes seasons feel magical, it delivers. Just don't expect a narrative arc.
