Grandad George laughed in the rain by Joan Walker Chitty

Book overview :

This is just a silly little book I wrote for these two little boys.  George and Harry are actually the grandsons of my big brother George.  On a visit to London, I told the boys how as children, Georgie and I loved to laugh int the rain. Whenever it rained hard, Georgie and I would run into the street and play in the rain. Georgie always said we should dance in the sunshine but we should always laugh in the rain, so of course, this is exactly what we always did.  As Our Mum would always call us into the house and tell us, that we’d ‘quote’ ‘Catch our death of cold.’  We’d go into the house with our clothes saturated, as out Mum would tell us to go and get changed into dry clothes.  Our Dad never said anything, he’d just shake his head and roll his eyes at our Mum, wondering why we had to do this every time it rained. Then one day, during a visit to London, I was visiting my family and telling the boy the story of how much their grandad George loved to play in the rain. The next day it rained heavily, I took the boys by the hand and we rain into the garden and sang in the rain.  We laughed and played soccer.  Now whenever it rains, the boys insist they go and play in the rain like their grandad, whom they have always called Grandad George. So this book is really just a little memory for two special little boys.
