A young boy is so excited to go to the beach the next day, but that afternoon a storm blows in. His family prepares for the storm, but all the boy can think about is how upset he is to not go to the beach. That night he dreams that he sails on a ship with big propellers to blow away the storm. When he wakes the next morning, the sun is shining.

The charcoal drawings emphasize the feeling of darkness in he storm. The beginning of the book, the illustrations are lighter and as the storm approaches the pages are darker until the boy wakes up to sunlight streaming through his window. The last pages of the story have the only color, blue sky!
