My 3 year old is terrified of storms after last summer. This spring, we are off to another stormy start and I picked up this book with hopes it will help him understand what’s going on a bit more. While that is yet to be seen, he enjoys the story and has requested it repeatedly. Perfect for people who have littles and face thunderstorms or hurricanes.

In sweet rhyming text, Linda Ashman explores what animals and people do to prepare and weather a storm. This is a perfect book for sharing during thunderstorm season!

Lyrical look at how animals and people prepare for, and recover from, a storm, including helping others and gathering together both during and afterwards. Comforting.

A nice look at how both animals and humans prepare for, endure, and recover from a storm. The illustrations are soft but colorful, and the entire story is pretty matter-of-fact and cheerful. There is a neighborly vibe that I truly appreciate.

I may be weird in the fact that I love storms. When the winds begin to blow and the sky darkens, I get excited when all my chickies (and sometimes their friends) run home to safety. Maybe we'll start the fire or bake something or play some games or make some popcorn and watch a movie (if the electricity is still working). In any case, this entire picture books is about preparing for an impending storm, the things we do while we wait out the storm, and then the community clean-up efforts afterward. The soft, comforting illustrations for this book were created using digital and pencil drawings.
