Because of the profound affect that it has on our everyday lives, it is important to teach young readers about the weather. Here are two great books for kids.
Authors: Kirby Larson and Mary Nethery
Reading Level: 4.8 ISBN: 802797547 Two animals survive Hurricane Katrina. This book confronts the enormity of tragedy by focusing on what happens to these two friends. It is, perhaps, a less frightening way of examining human suffering in the wake of a natural disaster. -ADC |
Author: David Shannon
Reading Level: 3.2 ISBN: 439050219 David Shannon has many wonderful books waiting to be discovered. This one reminds us that anger and sadness pass and that the sun will always shine again. -ADC |
