Parent and Teacher guide

One stormy night, Tala is awakened by an incoming storm. She is scared and rushes to Jad’s room for comfort. Jad, as the big brother, tries to allay her fears but when the sound of the wind and the roar of thunder become louder Jad sheepishly suggests they go to their parent’s room. They spend the night in their parent’s bed where they feel safe and fall asleep immediately. Unfortunately, it is a different matter for their parents who find it difficult to go to sleep with Jad and Tala thrashing and turning in their bed.

-If your little sister or brother is afraid of thunder what would you tell them?
