Island storm

Island Storm (2025), written by Brian Floca and illustrated by Sydney Smith, follows two siblings who venture out into their island home to experience the sea before a storm arrives. As the sky darkens and the wind picks up, they feel the energy of the gathering tempest, sensing its power along the rocky shore. Holding hands, they decide how far to keep going and when to seek shelter. The storm intensifies - waves crash, wind howls, and tension builds. Finally, the siblings return to the safety of home, where the storm passes and calm returns. The story celebrates the siblings’ connection, their bond, and their shared adventure before, during, and after nature’s dramatic display.
