She teaches her about watching for lightning and counting slowly until you hear the thunder to see how close the storm is. A storm is coming so she hides, but her Grandma helps her overcome her fear of thunder by making a Thunder Cake. Thunder Cake is about a little girl with her Grandma. I have a book that I just love called Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco that is a great way to help kids with their fear of storms. If you have a child who is afraid of thunderstorms, read on! Some of my kids have feared storms at times. There are many kids who fear the thunder and the lightning. I know that loving storms is not the norm, though. When the storms were over, the giant puddles left over were the best to stop in or ride my bike through as the water would fly up and get me all wet. I used to go out and run, dance and play in the rain all the time. In the summertime they come nearly every afternoon. There is nothing quite like a Florida storm. The rain is warm and the drops are so big just a few of them will drench you to the core.
(Ok, I still do!) I grew up in southern Florida and storms there are just plain amazing. When I was a little girl, I absolutely loved thunder storms. Have you ever heard of a Thunder Cake? You are in for a treat!
