About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing signs of storm anxiety or expresses fear about a mysterious monster under the bed. It provides a playful, low-stakes way to reframe the unknown as something that might just be a misunderstanding rather than a threat. By personifying the weather as a character named Storm, the story allows children to externalize their fears and laugh at the absurdity of their own imaginations. The story follows a group of farm animals who overhear the farmer shouting that a storm is coming. They mistakenly believe Storm is a scary visitor and retreat to the barn to hide. As the weather intensifies, their humorous misinterpretations of thunder and lightning turn a potentially frightening night into a goofy mystery. Best for children ages 3 to 7, this book is an excellent tool for normalizing anxiety while using humor to dismantle the power that scary sounds and shadows hold over young minds.
