Thelma and the Thunderstorm

<p>Thelma wasn’t always the prettiest tree on the town square. Even as a young willow her limbs were dreadfully sloppy and she always drooped. There was even talk of cutting her down to make room for a taller tidier maple tree. So imagine the townspeople’s surprise when the tangled willow blossomed into a beautiful treasure!</p><p><em>Thelma and the Thunderstorm</em> is the second selection in a series of books dealing with weather disasters written especially for children. Thelma’s story is one of strength and courage and includes a two-page non-fiction section discussing the phenomena of lightning and thunder for young readers.</p>
