Thunder Cake
Patricia Polacco
Grandma consoles her frightened granddaughter by telling her that the dark clouds of the impending storm are nothing more than the ingredients for a Thunder Cake.
Ever have a child afraid of thunderstorms? This book discusses facing your fears head on and making something fun associated with the fear instead of the fear itself. A grandmother bakes a Thunder Cake with her grandchild to help dispel the fear of the storm.

"Our community has been very hard-hit by serious unmet grief support needs, so I am looking forward to doing new things to fill in the gaps in our present child-teen bereavement program by introducing Bobby's Books to local schools, churches, libraries and service organizations. My "retirement" dream is beginning!
Thanks for your assistance in making this happen!"
