Island Storm by Brian Floca illustrated Sydney Smith**

 Two siblings leave their home to experience the precursor of the sights and sounds to a thunderstorm on an island. Holding hands, the two roam the island despite the impending danger. The word choice is superb. The figurative language enhances the book's "atmosphere".  Mr. Smith's illustration depict the mood of the different phases of the storm.

A perfect book to read aloud in the spring and summer before a thunderstorm. 

The page layouts are purposeful. I like the repeating refrain too.

**Highly, highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
