Tornadoes!

A parent would reach for this book when their child shows a budding interest in meteorology or, more importantly, when a child experiences anxiety during summer storms and needs to feel empowered by knowledge. It provides a clear, age-appropriate look at the science behind one of nature's most powerful phenomena while grounding the experience in practical safety steps. The book balances the awe-inspiring power of tornadoes with a calming, instructional tone. By explaining the 'why' behind the wind and the 'how' of staying safe, it transforms a scary mystery into a manageable concept. It is ideal for children aged 5 to 9 who are moving from magical thinking toward a desire for concrete facts and self-reliance during stressful events.
