        The Rhino Who Swallowed a Storm

        by LeVar Burton, Susan Schaefer Bernardo, Courtenay Fletcher

        When little Mica Mouse is scared by thunder booming outside her cozy home, Papa Mouse reaches for just the right story to comfort her. Hugging her close, he begins to read The Rhino Who Swallowed a Storm. In this poetic book-within-a-book, a happy little rhinoceros is overwhelmed by a storm that sweeps away everything he loves. Swallowing the storm just makes him feel worse, so Rhino sets off on a whimsical journey toward healing. Rhino is an engaging resource to help children express their feelings and navigate through difficult experiences. The “Take a Deeper Look” page at the end of the book even provides discussion questions to facilitate a healing dialogue. In 2016, First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama read The Rhino Who Swallowed a Storm with our co-author  LeVar Burton (Star Trek actor). Democratic presidential nominee (then vice-president) Joe Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden read the book to military families at an event at their home. More than 4 million Twitter fans have viewed LeVar Burton’s livestream readings of the book during the pandemic. Most astonishingly, this book was sent on a rocket to the International Space Station in 2015 and read aloud by US Astronaut Kate Rubins as part of the innovative Storytime from Space program – sending a truly global message of hope and healing for children experiencing trauma and stormy emotions in their lives.
