A tornado, a blizzard, a forest fire, and a hurricane are met, in
turn, with resilience and awe in this depiction of nature's power and
our own.
In the face of our shifting climate, young children everywhere are
finding themselves subject to unfamiliar and often frightening extreme
weather. Beloved author Jane Yolen and her daughter Heidi Stemple
address four distinct weather emergencies (a tornado, a blizzard, a
forest fire, and a hurricane) with warm family stories of finding the
joy in preparedness and resilience. Their honest reassurance leaves
readers with the message: nature is powerful, but you are powerful, too.
Illustrated in rich environmental tones and featuring additional
information about storms in the back, this book educates, comforts, and
empowers young readers in stormy or sunny weather, and all the weather
in between.
