Whether or not you live in an area that gets hit by hurricanes, you're apt to find that your kids have questions about hurricanes when they see TV news reports. I read a lot of books to come up with my list of recommended children's books about hurricanes. It includes both fiction and nonfiction and covers a wide age range. One of the books, Yesterday We Had A Hurricane / Ayer Tuvimos Un Huracán, is written in both English and Spanish. If you have others to recommend, please click on "comments" below and share your recommendations.
