Staff Review: "Druthers" by Matt Phelan

What can you do with a rainy day? This is the question posed by Matt Phelan's hug-worthy new picture book, "Druthers." 

"'If you had your druthers, what would you do?' asked her daddy.
'What are druthers?'
'Druthers are what you would rather do if you could do anything at all.'"

In this lovingly illustrated story, Penelope and her daddy play their way through the rainy day using only their imaginations. From pirates to cowboys, this duo knows how to make the best of bad weather. In the end, Penelope decides that, "if I really had my druthers . . . it would rain tomorrow, too."
