Thundermaestro follows a little girl who wields her baton to conduct a majestic symphony inspired by the sounds of a summer rainstorm. The story captures the crescendo of nature's orchestra—from rumbling thunder to pattering raindrops—woven with gorgeous mixed-media illustrations that contrast the gathering storm outside with the music blossoming inside her imagination.
