Two from Camille at Book Moot.
Semicolon review of Galveston’s Summer of the Storm by Julie Lake.
Semicolon review of Isaac’s Storm by Eric Larson.
I suggest for the younger set, although it’s about a summer storm, not a hurricane: The Storm Book by Charlotte Zolotow.
Other picture books on hurricanes:
Hurricane! by David Wiesner. Two brothers enjoy the excitement of a hurricane and the fun of climbing on a downed tree in their front yard.
Hurricane! by Corinne Demas. Margo and her family prepare for Hurricane Bob in 1991.
I thought Isaac’s storm a fascinating book.
A friend of mine is from Galveston and her grandmother and that generation (who have not gone on to their rewards) went through the hurricane as kids. I sent the book to her as soon as I finished it.
I think I liked the book so much because it covered a subject which she’d already talked about so I felt I “knew” these people.
Hoping you all stay dry. I’m thinking of you all!
Hope all is well (and dry), Sherry. Thinking of you.
