Adele loves many things: her café called The Polka-Dot April, her customers, flowers and sunshine on a beautiful day. There are very few things that dampen Adele's spirit, but the worst is a rainy day. Everyone in the village knows Adele doesn't like the rain. When it rains, she just wants to stay in bed rolled up in her quilt. One day, after closing time in the café, Adele discovers something pretty and pink left under the coat rack. Is it a gift for her? The next week it happens again! Adele is sure someone must be leaving surprises for her. But who and why?

When it's bright outside, Adele is the heart of her community, greeting everyone who comes into her caf©♭ with arms wide open. But when it rains, she can't help but stay at home inside, under the covers. Because Adele takes such good care of her friends and customers, one of them decides to take care of her too, and piece by piece leaves her little gifts that help her find the joy in a grey, rainy day.

Preschool picture book.

Godbout, Geneviève.
