62/100
👎 Skip It
The core idea — helping young children process scary weather through reassuring personification — is genuinely useful, especially for families in hurricane-prone areas. But with no independent reviews, no verified illustration quality, and limited public profile, there is not enough evidence to confidently recommend this over other weather-education picture books with established track records.
