Welcome to Litsy!

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. Along the way, he meets many friends, including a kind spider, a brave kangaroo, a wise tortoise, and an uplifting whale.�With their help, Rhino lets go of the storm inside and learns to see the light in a world turned gray.�Mica Mouse is soothed by the story and Papa�s gentle reminder that even though bad things sometimes happen, the world is full of people who care. In his first children�s book, longtime Reading Rainbow host LeVar Burton gives us 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.
