A gorgeously illustrated jacketed hardback picture book for children which explores the extraordinary strength and changeability of the natural world, and shines a light on those thrilling new experiences shared with siblings.

From two extraordinary and internationally recognized talents, Island Storm is a multi-sensory experience that will amaze and thrill readers as they understand the boundless possibilities of weather and outdoor experiences.
