A young child learns how to weather her storm of emotions When Laverne attends story time at the library or a playdate at the park, she arrives like a ray of sunshine. But when it's time to leave, she twists into a thunderstorm and needs to be carried away and brought straight to her room until the storm subsides. One day, feeling worn out by Laverne's thunderstorms, her parents decide to stay home. As Laverne plays pretend with her stuffies, she realizes that there are ways to prepare for all kinds of weather--and that she can use her stuffies as a tool to manage her big emotions. Charming watercolor illustrations and descriptive text bring this relatable story about explosive behavior and emotional regulation to life.
