In our April issue, we asked kids to tell us about what they like to do on a rainy day. Below, find the winning entries. Aya and Harper each receive a $25 gift certificate to Crow Bookshop in Burlington.

When it is raining outside, I read Ivy and Bean books or play with my baby sister. Sometimes I play school. I’m going to be a teacher when I grow up. I always am the teacher. I teach math and reading to my stuffed toy seal, Bluey.

Harper Hayes, 9, Bolton Valley
