The power, danger, and excitement of a hurricane are brought to life in this picture book. (School Library Journal)Told from the perspective of a boy who witnesses the sky growing ominously purple and rushes to evacuate with his family, Hurricane! is set in Puerto Rico and based on a childhood experience of the author's. The family huddles together in a shelter while the winds howl. They and their neighbors take solace from gently singing Silent Night while waiting out the storm. The you-are-there immediacy of this picture book, which ends with the family back home on a gorgeous sunny day, allows children to safely experience the drama of surviving a hurricane. | Hurricane by Jonathan London, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
