The brother imagines a sleeping giant in the sky whose rain awakens him, releasing sparks and fierce roars. The sister listens, then shares that books have offered different answers. The brother proposes a wilder explanation: sky bikers racing in the pouring rain, where sparks become lightning and engine revs become thunder.","Sister, Sister, Where Does Thunder Come From?  \nAuthor: Roopa Pai  \nIllustrator: Greystroke  \nEnglish Story Book  \nSister, Sister, Where Does Thunder Come From?  \nAuthor: Roopa Pai Illustrator: Greystroke Reformatted for Bloom By: Cara Ediger Pratham Books  \nEnglish  \nSister, Sister, Where Does Thunder Come From?
