Storm Trucks

My son was afraid of thunderstorms.

I don’t blame him. Sometimes the thunder and lightning get pretty wild in Oklahoma, but I needed a way to help him overcome his fear, so I told him a story. He loved trucks, and thunder sounds a lot like big construction trucks working. So I told him the first version of STORM TRUCKS, and it really helped my son through the storms.

Journey with Axel and his sweet puppy through a big thunderstorm. Axel loves loud trucks—big, strong trucks that go RUMBLE RUMBLE BEEP! But when a scary storm booms and rumbles outside, Axel feels scared.

But wait! Axel’s imagination kicks in! He sees trucks in the sky, making noise as they build… something! With his puppy by his side, Axel faces his fear and helps his friend through the storm, finding a surprise at the end of their journey.

This story is about friendship, feelings, and facing fears. It’s for kids who love trucks. It’s for kids who feel fear sometimes. It’s for kids who love puppies. Join Axel and his puppy on a brave adventure that shows how imagination and kindness can beat even the scariest storms.
