The perfect antidote to any rainy day.
Inquisitive, science-minded Liam finds himself scared by a roaring thunderstorm. Rather than being stuck under his blankets with a case of the blues, Liam remembers other times that the angry sky wrecked his plans. He hops out of bed with a bold plan; Liam will fasten a bouquet of balloons to his bottom and float on up into the clouds to uncover the source of the loud, scary roars. Maybe then he won’t be so afraid when the storms roll in. Up, up he goes with his cat by his side. What they eventually discover is quite the surprise!
When The Sky Roars, by the multi-talented Katie Weaver, gives new meaning to the expression sweet as pie! This book is a lovingly crafted gem that is perfect for reading aloud. The first thing that jumps out to readers is Liam himself. While all of the illustrations are absolutely heart-melting, the expressions on little Liam’s face are especially precocious, precious, and priceless. Then there is the charming and silly story. Little ones will be delighted as they float through the clouds uncovering dancing pirates and family-friendly dinosaurs along with Liam and his adventurous feline companion. All of this is sewn together by a flawless rhyming text that is seamlessly integrated with the beautiful artwork. A dreamy blend of whimsy, warmth and sugar, When The Sky Roars is the perfect antidote to any rainy day.
