Praise for Saffy Looks for Rain:
Saffy Looks for Rain has a "question-answer mode," a language pattern very familiar to young children. This technique serves well to keep a toddler's attention span from wandering and assigns them the responsibility for the "answer." The story directly involves the child, which also enhances the confidence of the child to become an independent reader.

"Saffy Looks for Rain” and “Saffy and Ollie” were first published over a decade ago by Simply Read Books as part of the Simply Small board book series. In 2020, the Simply Small series relaunched with new editions and was refined to one title per character. The original “Saffy” and “Ollie” titles remain in the board book series along with many other titles, however, “Saffy Looks for Rain” and “Saffy and Ollie” are now published as their own “Saffy’s Friends” eBook series.
