Over in the Wetlands: A Hurricane-on-the-Bayou Story
Publishing
in time for the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, here is a
beautiful read-aloud about animal families preparing for an impending
storm in their bayou habitat.
Journey
to the Louisiana wetlands and watch as all the animals of the bayou
experience one of nature’s most dramatic and awe-inspiring events: a
hurricane. The animals prepare—swimming for safer seas, finding cover in
dens, and nestling their young close to protect them. During the height
of the storm, even the trees react, cracking and moaning in the wind.
At last, the hurricane yawns and rests, and animals come out to explore
their world anew.
