When a thunderstorm's loud booms frighten this young protagonist, her father cleverly helps her weather the storm. Loud sounds lessen with a blanket-tent shelter and a game of checkers. Father and daughter make their own big and small sounds, and as the young girl grows comfortable with newfound awareness, the storm outside abates and loud stomps in large puddles close the story in smiles. Illustrations and text tell the story in equal parts. A sweet story of a father and daughter's cozy day together as they wait for a storm to pass

When rain interrupts their outdoor play, a girl and her father retreat indoors to wait out the storm. As lightning cracks and thunder booms, they each have their own ideas of things they can do together on a rainy day.

Told through spare text and bold sound effects, Sarah LuAnn Perkins' unique linocut-like textured illustrations create a fun read-aloud experience for both reader and listener.
