Oh, no! Their picnic is ruined! Or is it?!
A rainy day in spring is the perfect time for the snail family to go out on a picnic. Carrying a basket of provisions and some toys, the snails set off under the most delightful downpour. But no sooner have they started that the clouds lift to make way for sparkling sunshine. Oh, no! Their picnic is ruined!
Fortunately, young Margaux finds a way to save the day and before long, the family is nibbling on lettuce and berries under the shelter of a lovely raspberry bush. The snails have found the perfect time to have a picnic after all!
- Colorful illustrations sure to keep little ones engaged;
- Promotes imagination;

Passionate about history and children’s literature, Corinne Delporte spent her childhood with her nose in books. After obtaining a Master’s degree in History and a second one in Communication, she leaves France to settle in Montreal, where she strengthens her love of books by becoming a children’s book editor. The power of stories to make children dream, laugh, and think encourages her to start writing stories herself. Nature and wonder at its fragile beauty are themes that are dear to her and it is a rainy day in summer, when her daughter brings a tablecloth and salad to the snails in their garden, that inspired her to write this story. A picnic in the Rain is her first picture book. Célia Molinari Sebastià is a multidisciplinary artist with a degree in graphic design and communication. Since childhood, she has had a gift for untimely chatter, and she takes advantage of this skill to lead workshops for young people around traditional engraving and silkscreen printing. Also passionate about digital drawing, she has illustrated several educational apps for young people. When Célia is not drawing, she spends her time with her hands in the dirt, taking care of the insects and flowers on her Montreal balcony. Very friendly with Tito, the snail living in her cherry tomatoes, she confides in him her dream of one day illustrating a children’s book. A Picnic in the Rain is this first picture book.
