Waiting Out the Storm

by Joann Early Macken

Waiting Out the Storm Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A gentle, joyous tale for children everywhere who seek comfort during a storm—and parents who share with them a sense of natures wonders.

"Mama?"

"Yes, Buttercup?"

"Whats that I hear?"

Wind whistles in the treetops, thunder rumbles, and lightning flashes and dashes between raindrops. Snug inside, a mother and child listen, watch, and wonder what the animals will do during the storm. Paired with beautiful illustrations evoking the moods and mysteries of the natural world, this lyrical call-and-response text is a lullaby to stormy weather — and to the warmth and safety of home.

Synopsis:

Macken and Gaber deliver a gentle, joyous tale for children everywhere who seek comfort during a storm--and parents who share with them a sense of nature's wonders. Full color.

About the Author

JoAnn Early Macken is the author of many books for children. About this book, she says, "When a storm strikes, we all long to hear a reassuring voice and feel a comforting touch. Susan Gabers illustrations capture the kind of safe haven I wish every child (and chipmunk and chickadee) could enjoy." JoAnn Early Macken lives in Shorewood, Wisconsin.

Susan Gaber is the illustrator of numerous picture books, including Ten Sleepy Sheep by Phyllis Root. She says, "Im inspired and held in awe by how this graceful story takes on fear, love, and compassion all in a simple and familiar situation." She lives in Huntington, New York.
