What Early Readers Are Saying

Maryann Lucas

“Storm Trucks is perfect for the child who loves trucks – but trembles with fear when lightning and thunder roll in. This beautifully illustrated book takes the reader on an emotional ride right into the scary center of a dark downpour and proposes an imaginative way to find calm during the storm.”

Jennifer Sneed

“This upbeat book reassures children during life’s literal and figurative storms by encouraging them to overcome fear by using their imagination and helping others.

Axel loves loud trucks, but loud storm noises scare him. When a thunderstorm rages over his home, he hides, huddled under his bed with his dog until a storm sound reminds him of the trucks he loves. Could there be trucks in the sky? And if so, what are they building? Imagination and curiosity distract Axel from his fear, draw him from his hiding place, and help him discover reassuring strategies, such as helping his fearful dog, that enable him to ride out the storm without fear. The colorful, lively illustrations, created in a layered paper cut style, effectively work with the text to tell this positive and engaging story with a happy—and colorful—ending.

A fun and comforting story.”

Nicola Schofield

“After reading this book with my 3-year-old, she went straight to play with her trucks, getting them to carry around cloud dust!

It’s great to read aloud, lots of lovely, lively words and sounds.”
