Nury Vittachi’s The Day It Rained Letters, with illustrations by Eamonn O’Boyle, is a delightful picture book that speaks directly to both—kids and their parents. In this story, we find ourselves in a land where storybooks are unheard of, leaving the townspeople without the wonder and excitement that books bring. Through the whimsical adventures of two endearing characters, Minky Binka and her friend Rama Khan, the book imparts a timeless message about the power of storytelling and the magic of books.
