This read-aloud is a great way to engage your child's imagination in a positive way to deal with something that can be really scary for them - the sound of thunder!
The story describes a child who's really afraid of thunder, only to learn that the scary sound isn't the storm. It's the Thunder Dragons, and they roar to scare away the storm and protect us! The bigger the storm, the louder the Thunder Dragons roar to keep us safe. And somehow, that made the storm seem a lot less scary...
Damon Dillon is a first-time children's author who created this story for his four-year-old son, who loved dragons but got really scared during a big thunderstorm. It helped a lot, and his kid started telling the story to other kids, and the story began to spread. Hopefully Thunder Dragons will help your little ones feel a little better too!
