It is very elementary, using one word phrases. Drawing became a way to make space for himself and to create the kind of world he wanted to see. He was born in Los Angeles and grew up in a one-bedroom apartment with his grandmother and five other relatives. Finally, I liked the language of the book. Christian Robinson is an illustrator, author, animator, and designer based in Oakland, California. For example, when the little boy runs after the man to give him his hat, the man looks angry and says “You?” The boy pretends to be him, putting on his hat, making an angry face, and saying “You!” This causes the older man’s expression to change into surprise. It also portrays the emotions of the characters. Christian Robinson is an American actor of Panamanian and African American descent, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I like how the pictures are very basic, using ordinary shapes instead of abstract images. I also like the illustrations in the story. At the end, the boy and man exchange hats and the man changes his attitude and decides to enjoy the rainy day. When the door man greets him, he says “Ribbit!” As the story continues the older rain becomes more negative and the boy becomes more positive. He gets to wear his green raincoat and boots, and frog hat. Texas’ Bijan Robinson, who was named college football’s best running back last season, went No. There goes my hair…” The little boy however, is really excited for the rain. In the beginning, the older man isn’t happy about the rain.
