The Tree and The Tornado is a children's book about dealing with big emotions and feelings.  As the tree encounters the tornado that is spinning out of control it must ground itself and hold on tight to weather the storm.  The storms we face can be from bullies, change, or from within ourselves. Whatever the cause of the storm we must hold on tight to what we know, hold on tight to what we have learned.   The stronger and deeper our roots are the less scary storms become.
