Tavi

the Rainy-Day Spell

by Angela DeBorst

Tavi has a tap that makes shining spots for hopping, and a friend ready to play. At spell school, Tavi and Dex set out to make a big hop game together. But just as they begin, rain falls—and their magical spots grow thin, dim, and disappear.

Tavi wants a dry place for wings that feel soggy. Dex, a dragon who feels good in the rain, would rather stay outside. If they want to keep playing together, Tavi and Dex must find a way to make room for what each of them needs. Can they come up with a hop game that works for both friends?

Tavi is a gentle early reader about listening, trying a new idea, and finding ways to play side by side. Clear, inviting storytelling and a rainy-day school adventure make it a warm choice to read together or share with a young reader.
