Thunder Cake
by Patricia Polacco · · 1990
A young girl fears the loud summer storms that roll over her grandmother's farm until her wise grandmother suggests baking a special thunder cake before the storm arrives. As they gather ingredients across the farmyard while counting the seconds between lightning and thunder, the girl gradually learns to face her anxieties. Patricia Polacco's warm story highlights intergenerational love and gentle encouragement in overcoming childhood fears.
