When the Storm Comes

PRAISE:

“Weathering storms is best done together. . . . Yoo’s friendly illustrations have a soft visual texture . . . and the art overall creates a cozy, safe feeling. . . . Depicts the strength found in facing challenges together. Picture perfect whatever the weather.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Ashman once again shows her sure hand in writing rhymed verse that flows well and provides a satisfying narrative. Yoo’s colorful, expressive illustrations . . . dramatize the storm’s power as well as its effects on people and animals. A fine read-aloud choice with many visual details to observe and discuss.” —Booklist

“This poetic picture book prepares children for storm season with its helpful formula and assurances.” —School Library Journal

“The treatment of storms at sea as well as land and the focus on both animals and humans bring additional perspective to the exploration. . . . Use this in a weather unit, or share it to soothe the nervous as storms roll in.” —The Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books

“Engaging picture book. . . . The scenes range from cozy to dramatic especially on a striking double-page spread of the storm at its height, lightning flashing and forking. The lilting, lively verse is unfailingly appealing.” —The Horn Book
