About This Book
On a sweltering summer day in the country, a little boy and his mother watch as a thunderstorm gathers, builds, and rolls across the landscape with dramatic force. Charlotte Zolotow's lyrical text follows the storm from its first rumbles to its magnificent crescendo and the calm, fresh world it leaves behind.
Why We Love This
One of the most beautiful depictions of a summer thunderstorm in children's literature - the building tension and spectacular release mirror exactly how it feels to experience a real storm as a child.
