The big emotions are difficult to manage, especially when you are a small person trying to understand yourself and the world around you. For the confusing and stormy days, I Am a Thundercloud helps readers relate to their feelings through the sounds, sensations, and colors of nature, making them feel comfortable and lighter. Having emotions, even angry ones, is part of human nature. In Leah Moser's I Am a Thundercloud, a young child has a bad day—thundering, screaming, crashing, and cracking like an angry storm. The nervousness, the inability to say the "right" words, and the tendency to hide feel like the storm boiling inside him. But like the sun breaking through the fog, the protagonist processes the big feelings by relaxing, seeking help, opening up, and pausing to allow himself to breathe. This powerful illustrated book reminds us that the ability to recognize how we feel not only enhances our emotional intelligence and helps us process our own emotions but also allows us to recognize and empathize with others who are facing their own emotional issues.
