New Zealand author and illustrator Andrew Conlan reads his wonderful children's picture book Mr. Gloomingdale's Downpour. Mr. Gloomingdale has been grumpy for so long that he can't even remember why he was in a bad mood in the first place. When he wishes for sunshine and light to go away and leave him to be gloomy, his wish backfires in a way that he doesn't expect! Mr. Gloomingdale's Downpour is a charming illustrated story for all children starring an endearingly grouchy character that learns a valuable lesson about helping others.
