The Bravest of Us All

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Brad Sneed. Unlike her sister Velma Jean, who seems to be fearless, Ruby Jane doesn't feel courageous at all. However, when a tornado threatens, she braves the storm and coaxes Velma Jean into the cellar, despite the older girl's secret fear of going underground. The story drags somewhat at the climax, but Sneed's watercolors add excitement and portray the setting vividly.
