About This Book
Reach for this book when the first rumble of thunder sends your child scurrying for the safety of your lap or under the bedsheets. It is a gentle, factual tool designed to transform the 'scary noise' of a storm into a predictable scientific process. By replacing the unknown with clear vocabulary and real-world imagery, it helps children move from fear toward a sense of mastery and curiosity. This early reader uses simple sentences and vivid photography to explain how clouds, electricity, and heat create the sights and sounds of a storm. It is perfectly calibrated for children aged 4 to 7, offering just enough information to satisfy their 'why' without overwhelming them. Parents will find it a calming, grounded resource that validates a child's caution while providing the logical armor they need to feel safe during the next rainy day.
