In 2016, First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama read The Rhino Who Swallowed a Storm with our co-author LeVar Burton. Democratic presidential nominee (then vice-president) Joe Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden read the book to military families at an event at their home. More than 4 million Twitter fans have viewed LeVar Burton’s livestream readings of the book during the pandemic. Most astonishingly, this book was sent on a rocket to the International Space Station in 2015 and read aloud by US Astronaut Kate Rubins as part of the innovative Storytime from Space program – sending a truly global message of hope and healing for children experiencing trauma and stormy emotions in their lives.
