About This Book
A young girl is terrified of thunderstorms until her brave and resourceful grandmother enlists her help in gathering eggs, picking tomatoes, and baking a special cake before the storm arrives. Based on Patricia Polacco's own childhood memories on a Michigan farm, the story turns fear into a delicious adventure.
Why We Love This
We love how Grandma's clever distraction technique actually works on real kids too - ours now ask to bake every time they hear thunder.
