A little thunder, a little hail...
...and a good dose or two of rain suddenly turned our world green in early May!

But not everyone enjoys thunder as much as I do. Especially not little ones, which is why books like "Thunder Cake" by Patricia Palacco were written. (And why my sister got it for her kids!)
In a delightful way, the author teaches children that they can choose to do things even when they are scared... and that they don't actually need to be afraid of a sound.
We love this book's vivid artwork highlighting the author/artist's cultural background - especially her Babushka (Grandmother).
And when asked what was her favorite part of the book last week, my 3 year old neice said "the cat." Plus she likes the part where they are gathering the ingredient "milk" for baking a Thunder Cake.
