Reach for this book when your toddler is in the midst of the 'terrible twos' or 'threenage' years and you need a way to talk about the physical intensity of a meltdown after the storm has passed. It provides a shared language for those moments when a child feels completely overtaken by frustration, helping them understand that while their feelings are huge, they are not permanent. The story follows young Finn as he experiences a tantrum of epic proportions, depicted through vivid metaphors of thunder, lightning, and tidal waves. By externalizing the anger as a natural weather event, the book removes shame from the experience. It validates the child's internal struggle while showing that their parents remain a steady, loving anchor throughout the chaos. It is an essential tool for co-regulation and emotional literacy for children aged 2 to 5.
