Thunder Is Not Scary

First-time author, Emily Rehberg’s, twin sons were terrified of thunder. Whenever they would hear the loud crackle of thunder outside their window, they cried and tried their best to hide from this unknown menace. Emily and her husband tried to teach them that thunder was a natural part of the larger world. Emily went on a search for a book about the subject. Not finding one led Emily to write a book comparing the rumble of thunder to other, more familiar sounds which represented positive things in the eyes of the two young ones in order to lessen their fear. It worked for Emily. If your children are similarly scared, try it. It might work for you, too.
