Margot looks out of the window, waiting silently for the rain to stop and the sun to come out. Rumors have it that her parents are strongly considering taking her away from the underground colony on Venus and back to her home on Earth. In fact, she has been in a depressed state for most of her time on Venus. Marot refuses to participate in any classroom activity that doesn't include the sun. She still has many memories of the sun, and the sun continues to fascinate her. Margot, a thin, pale girl that the rest of the children resent for various reasons, lived in Ohio until she was five. This is true for all but one of the children. To prepare for the day, they have constantly read about the sun and completed classroom activities, such as writing a poem, about the sun. The children have only seen the sun once in their lives, but they were two years old and they don't remember how it looks or feels.
After 5 years of continuous rain, the scientists on Venus have predicted that the sun will come out today for a brief period of time. They are nine years old, and they are eagerly awaiting a momentous occasion. In "All Summer in a Day," a group of schoolchildren live on the planet Venus with their families.
