Grandpa's Jars of Rain
A three-page site for an invented Phoenix picture book: cut paper and risograph ink, a sky that turns to monsoon as you read, and Grandpa's shelf of fifty jars of rain in 3D.
What this page shows a client
- The book's own painted world as the site: torn-paper edges cut differently on every load, two inks printed a hair off, hand-lettered labels
- A sky drawn behind the whole page that turns from afternoon to monsoon as the story is read, with paper raindrops when the storm breaks
- Grandpa's shelf in 3D: fifty jars, one for every summer since 1976; tap one and it lifts out with its story, then catch the rain in Kiki's empty jar
- A little 3D saguaro beside the cover with a storm cloud of its own that rains when you touch it
- Peek inside: four spreads with the book's words set beside the art
- Meet the author with a painted self-portrait (no made-up photo), story times, and a studio newsletter sign-up
- For grown-ups: a read-aloud guide, a make-your-own rain jar activity, a coloring page that prints on its own, and a school visit request
- Day is a summer afternoon on cream paper; night is the storm after dark, with the jars lit
Good for Authors, illustrators and small presses, especially picture book and middle grade writers who sell at story times, schools and local shops and want a home that feels like their book.
