Hamish McGruff is a mischievous little scruff who thinks he is tough. He's not afraid of croaking frogs, or spiders and snails underneath logs. Hamish is ever so brave out in the ocean with its big rolling waves. But when the storm clouds roll in... thunder crashes... lightning crackles... and Hamish whimpers and hides. He is afraid of the dark and the crashes and booms are terribly scary. Can a friend help Hamish come up with a plan for the next thunder storm? A delightful story about friendship and finding the courage to overcome fear.
