What is A stormy night about?
When a wild storm sweeps through the night, Marvin and Marigold huddle together, frightened by the rattling windows, whistling wind and flashes of lightning. Thunder crashes and the darkness seems full of surprises. As the storm rages outside, the two friends find ways to stay calm and brave. With lively rhyme, playful sounds and plenty of atmosphere, this reassuring picture book captures the excitement and worry of a stormy night, while showing how companionship can make frightening moments feel safer.
