mjfmjfmjf's review against another edition
4.0
Children's picture book. Wordy. A lot longer than your standard picture book. But done really well. This is Katrina told from the point-of-view of kids who lived there. It's got some before, during and after. It pulls a few punches but it also tells a pretty scary story. Well done.

Renée Watson is one of my favorite writers and I soak up all her words with gusto. This story tells of four friends before, during and after Hurricane Katrina. It's told by four voices/best friends. An important book for children of all ages. The man made disaster that was Hurricane Katrina can't leave our consciousness and children need to know what happened, how and why. This is a relatively gentle introduction that can be used in a myriad of ways in an elementary classroom. A must for all classroom libraries.
