The king who rained

Firefly & Fern Summary

In this delightfully clever picture book, a young girl takes her father's words completely literally, imagining a king who literally "rained" from the sky, a duchess with a "bushel" on her back, and other wonderfully absurd scenes born from homonyms and wordplay. Through charming illustrations and punny scenarios, children discover the fun and confusion that can arise when words have multiple meanings, making this a perfect introduction to language play and the joy of reading between the lines.
