Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco*

Trisha is afraid of a lot things on her Babushka's farm but especially thunderstorms.
To help her overcome her fear, her grandmother introduces to the art of baking "thunder cake"-gathering ingredients, mixing them and baking the cake while the thunder rumbles in the distance and then enjoying the luscious chocolate and strawberries while the rain pours.
*Highly recommend.
