A flood is coming! When the water climbs to the rooftops, where will everybody go? To Grandma's house, of course, high up on a hill Before long, the house is full of people, chickens, ducks, pigs, horses, cats, and even a cow. There's only one person missing—Grandpa!

This heartwarming story by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock is based on a real-life event: the Vermont Flood of 1927. Watercolors by Caldecott Medal-winning artist Emily Arnold McCully capture both the sweeping drama of the flood and the comfort of a cozy kitchen filled with friends, neighbors, and good cheer.
