Stormy Weather
In the spirit of her best-selling picture book No Matter What comes another warm, snuggly picture book from Debi Gliori. As a mama fox tucks her baby into bed, she soothes his nighttime fears of the storm outside his window with the promise of watching over him while he sleeps, just like all other baby animals around the world. The adorable illustrations and lilting rhyme will help see any child through the stormiest of weather or the darkest of nights.

About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
DEBI GLIORI is well known for her picture books, including No Matter What, the Dead Magic series for middle grade readers, and most recently, The Trouble with Dragons. She lives in Scotland.
PreSchool-K—When night falls, parents ease their children's worries as the youngsters prepare for bed. From the strong polar bear to the tiny snail, the animal mothers and fathers are universal in their affection. The story's lulling pace enhances the quiet bedtime read-aloud. A mother rabbit assures her bunny, "If thunder tore the night in two/and lightning played at peekaBOO,/we'd watch the storm pass overhead,/then curl up safe and snug in bed." The clear message maintains its reassuring focus through peaceful phrases. Gliori's familiar characters assist the straightforward narrative through expressive faces, completing a unified package. Watercolor-and-ink spreads utilize warm earth tones within the family homes to contrast the sometimes threatening outside elements or cool night backdrops. Nimble lines support the comforting images, and swirling designs and twinkling stars add unique details. Cozy and inviting, this gentle read will soothe young listeners.—Meg Smith, Cumberland County Public Library, Fayetteville, NC
