When the Dark Clouds Come
"This is a masterly marriage of text and illustration that doubles as an SEL read, as well as a more literal interpretation of the fear that comes with a dark, stormy night. Lilting prose and textured collage visually and lyrically represent big feelings in this powerful title. Highly recommended."
—School Library Journal, starred review
"Careful wording throughout allows the book to be read literally or metaphorically, reminding readers that ‘when the dark clouds come / the sun is never far behind.’ The book’s length, cadence, and striking imagery make it a nice match for story time, but the moody illustration also pair well with snuggling on the couch, reading one-on-one together as lightning flashes outside.”
