Thelma wasn't always the prettiest tree on the town square. Even as a young willow, her limbs were dreadfully sloppy, and she always drooped. There was even talk of cutting her down to make room for a taller, tidier maple tree. So imagine the townspeople's surprise when the tangled willow blossomed into a beautiful treasure Thelma and the Thunderstorm is the second selection in a series of books dealing with weather disasters, written especially for children. Thelma's story is one of strength and courage, and includes a two-page, non-fiction section discussing the phenomena of lighting and thunder for young readers.
