NOTABLE : 2016 CBCA Book of the Year, Early Childhood

When a sunny day at the beach turns stormy, a little girl runs for cover. Her daddy and brothers are wild in the wind and lightning, and her poppy is as loud as thunder. They fill the house with stamping and crashing while Granny plays piano to their riotous thunderstorm dancing, until the storm passes and they all fall down. Then, in the stillness, the girl is ready to play. What will she be, now that the rain has stopped and there's a glimmer of sunlight?

'A joyful and vibrant story, perfect to read (or sing) aloud and dive straight into the action... Preschoolers will be stamping their feet for more.' - Reading Time
