Will a storm come again?
Children are often keenly aware of natural disasters and other scary news, near or far. And they might ask the age-old questions . . . Is God mad at us? Why did God let this bad thing happen?
In this poignant yet hopeful picture book, young Seth tries to understand why a tornado hit his neighborhood, and he worries the dark sky will return. His mom helps him work through his fears by sharing the biblical story of the man born blind, showing Seth (and young readers) that Christ is always working and is our comfort and courage even on the hardest days.
Parents and caregivers can use Seth and the Very Scary Storm—and the discussion questions at the end—to have gentle conversations with their children about fear and suffering, showing them the God who loves us through it all.
