Description

The air grows humid, clouds roll in, the wind picks up, the sunlight dims, thunder rumbles in the distance, Grandfather's toe begins to ache . . . all are signs that a storm is on the way. These entertaining collection of poems celebrates the music and artistry of storms and captures the excitement and awe that storms inspire. Imagine a storm concert by the Midsummer Philharmonic, a lightning bolt that hurdles athletically over hills, carousel-horse clouds that "gallop across the heavens to a calliope of rain music," puddles that hold amazing images. Audrey Baird's descriptive words and Patrick O'Brien's stunning watercolor washes capture each moment and draw us into the beauty of nature's stormy side.
