When a grumpy storm threatens a happy village, a calm boy named Leo and his funny monkey friend, Momo, must save the day. This beautifully illustrated tale shows that true strength isn't about being big, but about having a big heart and protecting your friends. It is a cinematic adventure filled with humor and wonder that kids will want to read again and again.
Dark, swirling clouds gather over the sunny valley where the villagers are happily playing. "Uh-oh," chatters Momo the monkey, hiding his banana behind his back, "those clouds look like they skipped breakfast and are very, very grumpy!"
The villagers are busy piling up giant cakes and mountains of fruit on a golden altar for the Great Sky King. Everyone is rushing around, sweating and nervous, hoping the Sky King won't send a storm if he has a full belly.
Leo sits calmly on a big rock, watching his neighbors run in circles while Momo tries to balance a giant pineapple on his head. "Why are we giving all our yummy snacks to the sky?" Leo asks with a playful, curious wink.
"The forest gives us shade, and the mountain gives us cool water," Leo tells the crowd, pointing to the beautiful green peaks. "Shouldn't we say thank you to the nature that actually takes care of us every day?"
The village bursts into a colorful dance, decorating the trees with bright ribbons and hugging the big, ancient rocks. Momo leads a parade of goats, shouting, "Hurray for the dirt! It's way better than those grumpy, noisy clouds!"
High above, the Storm King turns a deep shade of purple with rage, his lightning bolts flickering like angry neon signs. "They forgot about ME?" he roars, puffing out his cheeks to blow a freezing, wet wind down at the valley.
Rain pours down in buckets, and the wind whistles so loudly that the cows start to spin around like furry tops. "I knew I should have worn my yellow raincoat!" Momo screams, clinging to Leo’s hair as the villagers run for cover.
While everyone else hides, Leo walks slowly toward the Great Hill, his face calm and his eyes bright with a secret power. "Don't worry, Momo," he whispers over the thunder, "the mountain is our friend, and friends always help each other."
With a tiny smile and just one finger, Leo reaches up and lifts the entire massive mountain high into the air. The ground shakes, and the villagers gasp as the giant rock floats above them like a magnificent stone umbrella.
Everyone huddles safely under the mountain, dry and warm, while the Storm King finally runs out of breath and gives up. "Helping others is the biggest power of all," Leo says, as Momo finally finds his lost banana and takes a happy bite.
