None. The book is a straightforward, secular, and gentle celebration of a natural weather phenomenon. Its approach is entirely positive and wonder-filled.
Ideal Reader
A curious 3-to-5-year-old who loves nature and asking questions. It's especially well-suited for a child who might be slightly apprehensive about rain or thunder, as it reframes the experience as beautiful and soothing rather than scary.

It's an excellent book to simply open and enjoy, letting the lyrical text and illustrations set a calm mood.
