A storm and its sunny aftermath come to life through gorgeous art and lyrical text.

What do you do when the clouds roll in,
When the wind chimes clang and the weather vanes spin?

A storm is coming and there is so much to do! When stormy skies threaten, there's a flurry of activity as people prepare for what's ahead, stocking up on supplies, bringing in their outside toys, and checking the news for updates. During the storm, if the power goes out, they can play games and tell stories by candlelight. And what do animals do? They watch and listen as the wind kicks up and the thunder booms, find a cozy den or some other sheltered spot, and hunker down to wait. After the storm, while people clean up their yards, make repairs, and check on the neighbors, the animals emerge from their hiding places and shake off the rain. And everyone is happy to be out in the sunshine again, grateful for better weather and the company of friends.
