Children's Books About Hurricanes

Despite the fact that there has been very little hurricane activity this season, you may find that your kids want to know all about hurricanes, even if you don't live in an area affected by hurricanes. I have several children's books about hurricanes I recommend, including both fiction and nonfiction, covering a wide age range. One of the books, Yesterday We Had A Hurricane / Ayer Tuvimos Un Huracán, is written in both English and Spanish. The author, Deidre McLaughlin Mercier, a teacher and counselor, has done an excellent job of presenting information in an age appropriate manner for children three- to six-years-old. Take a look at my list and if you have other children's books to recommend, please click on "comments" below and share your recommendations.
