Simone Kruger is a Germany-based children's book illustrator. She loves being out and about in the countryside, discovering nature and new creatures to draw. When it starts to rain, you can see her wearing a bright yellow raincoat, but as a kid, she loved playing barefoot in the rain and splashing in puddles.

"The imagination on display will inspire readers...Pull this out on the next rainy day and have boots, slickers, and boat at the ready." --Kirkus Reviews "Fun language, word play, and bright colors make this a delightful read aloud, whatever the weather." --Foreword Reviews "After the Rain is a whirling, swirling adventure that captures the pure joy of playing in puddles. This read-aloud is perfectly paired with vibrant illustrations and an action-packed storyline that celebrates the power of friendship." --Tara Luebbe, author of I Am Famous and Shark Nate-O "A rollicking romp, a rackety rumpus, then refreshing resolve as two friends who become at odds in the aftermath of a rainstorm learn to work together to make every moment count. A rhythmic read that little ones are sure to enjoy!" --Lynne Marie, author of The Star in the Christmas Play, Moldilocks and the Three Scares, and Let's Eat!

This fun and rhythmic narrative is one that kids will love to read--come rain or shine." --Alastair Heim, author of Hello, Door; The Great Puppy Invasion; and Love You Too "A new and entertaining twist on the rainy-day picture book." --Midwest Book Review
