It begins with a puff. Then another. A flutter, a ripple, a shiver show where the breeze blows. Tiny water drops join and grow until they are too heavy to stay aloft. Lightning cracks and thunder bellows. The storm is here.
An evocative exploration of the birth of a thunderstorm and the effects of wind and weather on the natural environment. In the vein of Iceberg, Tree and Volcano - combining deep scientific research, lyrical language and stunning illustrations - Storm is the next exploration of the natural world from the CBCA award-winning team of Claire Saxby and Jess Racklyeft.
Perfect for:
- anyone who's ever wondered how a storm forms
- schools looking for engaging illustrated non-fiction
- parents of children who love weather, science and the natural world.
