Illustrated by
Carol Thompson.
A girl lies underneath a tree as her brother dabbles his feet in the pond and Mom fans herself with her hat--but soon the atmosphere changes. This satisfying book captures all the drama of a summer storm even as it rewards readers with a small-scale, homey story. The mixed-media illustrations feature luscious color and details brought out in scratchy black ink.
