From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2 As members of a farm family go about their chores on a sweltering summer day, they see a thunderstorm developing in the distance. The menacing black wall and intense lightning force the two children and their father to take shelter in the barn. After strong winds and hail come sunshine and a gentle breeze. Blackbirds return to the cornfields, and Mother watches from the house as the rest of the family heads back outdoors. Mortensen uses short lines of verse to convey movement and intensity as the storm develops. Eerie calm,/tractor crawl./Bright red roof,/thick black wall. Anyone who has watched similar storms approach will appreciate Kiesler's illustrations. The double-page oil paintings capture the ever-darkening sky and ominous clouds. Lightning bolts and drenching rains give way to a final vision of a rainbow arching above the house. Although the title and text reference Ohio, readers across the Midwest and Great Plains will recognize the scenario. While not an essential purchase, the book could serve as an effective read-aloud to spark discussions about weather or ways to deal with storms and the fears they might evoke.
