This author is amazing. Not only are her books a pleasure to read, but they also contain heartwarming messages. Any child afraid of storms would be comforted by this story.

Here's a nice story of how the seemingly fearless sister needs help from one of her siblings in the face of a dangerous tornado. To escape the tornado the family needs to take shelter in the storm cellar, but that's the one thing that gives the "fearless" one pause. I particularly liked the illustrations and thought that the long-legged children fit in well with the depression-era names and scenes.

We bought this after Brad Sneed, the illustrator, visited my oldest daughter's school. My preschooler, who is now 6, fell in love with this book. We read it every night for several weeks. She has a fascination with the tornado. She decided that she is "the bravest of us all." And we still call her that to this day.
