A gentle, joyous tale for children everywhere who seek comfort during a storm--and parents who share with them a sense of nature's wonders. "Mama?" "Yes, Buttercup?" "What's that I hear?"
Wind whistles in the treetops, thunder rumbles, and lightning flashes and dashes between raindrops. Snug inside, a mother and child listen, watch, and wonder what the animals will do during the storm. Paired with beautiful illustrations evoking the moods and mysteries of the natural world, this lyrical call-and-response text is a lullaby to stormy weather -- and to the warmth and safety of home.

About The Author

I write poetry, picture books, nonfiction, and novels for children and young adults. My newest books are the rhyming picture book Waiting Out the Storm (Candlewick, 2010) and the nonfiction picture book Flip, Float, Fly: Seeds on the Move (Holiday House, 2008). I’ve also written more than one hundred nonfiction books for the school and library market.

I earned an M.F.A. in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College. I received the Barbara Juster Esbensen Poetry Teaching Award, and I love to speak to children and adults about poetry and writing.
