Storm Called Katrina by Myron Uhlberg

4.0

Myron Uhlberg's book, A Storm Called Katrina, is a childrens book that beautifully illistrates through word and picture of what the people of New Orleans dealt with after Katrina. It is very simply done which will appeal to children, yet informative for any reader.

Louis is a young boy caught in New Orleans during Katrina. He and his parents have to evacuate their home as the flood waters rise. He takes his one posession, being his cornet, as there is no time to gather up belongings. Their family finds refuge in the Football Stadium as does the rest of New Orleans. They have do decide whether or not to stay in New Orleans or leave as many people did.
