Bookroo's summary

A rampaging tornado, unaware of its own anger, sweeps up a compassionate cow. As Cow listens, Tornado's destructive path takes an unexpected turn. Can empathy calm the storm within? Discover how a simple conversation might change everything.

From the publisher

An emotionally unaware tornado carves a path of destruction until it picks up a very empathetic cow in this quirky and sweet picture book about compassion and navigating negative emotions. Tornado is on a rampage. It tosses cars and knocks over barns. Tornado is also angry, only it doesn’t know that or want to admit it. Then Tornado picks up Cow. Oh, no! Cow would like to be put down. Fortunately, Cow is a good listener. And sometimes Tornado just needs to be heard.
