- Reading
- Pause over the illustrations and invite your child to notice what Adele enjoys and how the gifts affect her. Let them decide whether they want to talk about rainy-day feelings or acts of kindness.
- Themes
- Care and friendship: A customer Adele has cared for decides to care for her in turn by leaving small gifts. Thoughtful acts of friendship are explicitly celebrated; the plot presents care as something that can be returned.
- Adele and rainy days: Adele enjoys sunshine and her café community, but rain can leave her wanting to stay indoors under the covers. The plot contrasts Adele's sunny-day sociability with her rainy-day withdrawal; this describes her experience without establishing a broader explanation for it.
- Worth knowing
- Adele's rainy-day sadness is part of the story.
