Sometimes Stormy

Sometimes Stormy by Amanda Davis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I admire how this book courageously tackles the subject of alcoholism with great sensitivity. Dad is not depicted as a villain; instead, the stormy disease seeks him out. By reading this book, kids will learn that when this happens, it is not their fault. Davis offers many practical solutions when confronted with the storm. The loose and scratchy illustrations beautifully reflect the unpredictability of the parent's mood. The color tones transition from cool during the darker moments to warm in the happier times. This is a powerful and inspiring book that will help kids understand an adult challenge.
