  1. 1. Island Storm

    Two siblings on a small island experience a thunderstorm from its first gusts through its fierce peak to the calm afterward. With rhythmic text and vivid illustrations, the book captures the sounds, sights, and sensations of the storm in a comforting, sensory way that both reassures children who fear thunder and delights those who enjoy dramatic weather.
