A story about Hurricanes
for your Kindergartener.

Blossom Sprout woke up in her bright garden. She smiled at the tall trees and the shiny pond. Her leafy arms waved with excitement as she checked each pretty flower.

“Good morning, garden!” said Blossom Sprout. She loved caring for every petal and leaf. The sun felt warm on her green head, and she giggled at the happy birds singing in the trees.

Suddenly, a large leaf rustled with a loud whoosh. The air felt strange and heavy. Rippled water in the pond made soft splashing sounds.

“What is that sound?” asked Blossom Sprout. Just then, Breezy the wind swirled around her. “A mighty storm is coming,” Breezy whispered. “It’s called a hurricane!”

Blossom Sprout tilted her head. “How does a hurricane grow?” she asked. Breezy sighed, “Warm ocean water gives me power, and I spin faster and faster until the winds are very strong.”

All at once, raindrops splashed down. “Oh dear!” said Blossom Sprout. She dashed around gathering potted flowers. “I must keep you safe,” she told them, placing them under a dry table.

Outside, the wind howled louder, and branches shook. Blossom Sprout worried about her lovely garden. She whispered softly, “Don’t be afraid, little buds. We will make it through the storm.”

A colorful umbrella sat near the door, waiting to help in the drenching rain. Lightning lit up the sky, and the rumble of thunder echoed through the garden.
