4 Stormy and Puddly New Picture Books

Island Storm by Brian Floca, illustrated by Sydney Smith (9780823456475) Two siblings set off to watch a thunderstorm arrive at their island home. They walk through the forest to the beach where the waves grow bigger and crash on the shore. They pull one another onward, following the road along the water as the wind gets stronger. They keep on going, past the lighthouse and into the empty town.
