Willow & The Weather
Willow is a 5-year-old girl from Hermitage, PA, who is terribly afraid of thunderstorms. With her trusty pink blanket, Silky, by her side, Willow embarks on a journey to overcome her fear and learn the importance of thunderstorms for the earth and all living creatures.
Willow loved playing outside with her friends. But when dark clouds filled the sky, she felt scared. She would run inside and hide under her blanket, Silky. Willow's mom tried to comfort her, but the thunder still made Willow shiver. Willow wanted to be brave, but she didn't know how.
One day, Willow's mom asked her to help water the garden. Willow was excited until she heard the distant rumble of thunder. She froze in place, clutching Silky tightly. The rain began to pour, and Willow ran inside, frightened. She wished she could be brave like her mom.
At school, Willow's teacher, Mrs. Green, showed a video about thunderstorms. Willow covered her ears and closed her eyes. Mrs. Green noticed and said, 'It's okay to be scared, Willow.' Willow nodded but still felt afraid. She didn't know what to do.
That night, Willow heard the loudest thunderstorm ever. She hid under Silky and cried. Willow's dad came in and sat beside her. - I can't handle the thunder, Daddy, Willow sobbed. - Let's try something, Willow's dad said, handing her a flashlight. - Why don't we make shadow puppets and tell stories?
Willow and her dad made shadow puppets on the wall. - Look, a bunny! Willow giggled. - Thunderstorms help plants grow, her dad explained. - Without them, our garden wouldn't be so beautiful. Willow listened and felt a little less scared. Maybe thunderstorms weren't so bad after all.
The next day, Willow saw dark clouds again. She felt scared but remembered her dad's words. - Silky, we can be brave together, Willow whispered. She went outside and watched the rain fall. The thunder rumbled, but Willow stood still. She smiled, feeling proud of herself.
