Pat Cummings was born in Chicago but grew up traveling with her military family all over the world. And Ringo, the cat? They were in the dark.
Rain streaming down the windows, babbling in the downspouts.
Mary Stolz and Pat Cummings have each brought their unique talents to this lyrical tale about a magical, stormy night and a special relationship between grandfather and grandson. They have a wonderful time learning important new things about each other in a spirited conversation. Too early to go to bed, and with only flashes of lightning to see by, Thomas and his grandfather happily find themselves rediscovering the half-forgotten scents and sounds of their world. This lovely picture book is also a strong choice to share about overcoming fears. This could be a moment to be scared, but Thomas and his grandfather huddle with Ringo the cat on their porch and share stories in the darkness. Storm in the night-lights flicker out, rain streams down the windows.
