Puddle Hunting - NK Navarro;Caidon Moya

Puddle Hunting is a joyful and imaginative children's picture book about turning boredom into adventure. Written by mother-and-son duo N.K. Navarro and Caidon Moya, this heartwarming story celebrates curiosity, creativity, and the special bond between a parent and child.

When Caidon finds himself stuck inside on a cold, rainy day, he quickly grows bored while his mom works from home. Nothing seems exciting-his blocks are built, his coloring is finished, and the rain outside only makes the day feel longer. But when the timer rings, Mom reveals a surprise: it's time to put on rain boots and go puddle hunting.

What begins as a simple walk in the rain becomes a magical adventure filled with splashes, laughter, and a little imagination-especially when Caidon wonders if mysterious "rain monsters" might be hiding in the puddles. With reassurance from Mom and courage in his heart, Caidon discovers that sometimes the best days come from the simplest moments together. 

Beautifully illustrated and inspired by real family experiences, Puddle Hunting celebrates children who see the world differently and encourages young readers to embrace curiosity, courage, and play-even on rainy days.

Perfect for ages 3-7, this uplifting story is especially meaningful for families raising children with low vision or unique learning journeys, while reminding all readers that imagination can turn any ordinary day into an unforgettable adventure.
