Experience the gradually appearance of storm clouds, then a blast of rain and thunder/lightning, and the fun aftermath.
Rhyming text. The amount of words per page match the mood of the storm.
Words are few but well selected (swell, looming, streaming, gushing, hounding, sneaks).
I especially like the illustrations -scratchboard and watercolor. Ms. Krommes won the Caldecott for The House in the Night (2009). Distinctive style.
My preschooler immediately noticed that she was the illustrator from one of our favorite books Swirl by Swirl! If a preschooler can observe her style without adult prompting, then it is very distinct!!
