(3) K-3 Illustrated by Shadra Strickland. Watson's lyrical prose describes life before and after Hurricane Katrina, as seen through the eyes of (fictional) children in a New Orleans neighborhood. The voices speak of family relationships, survival, and a slow return to normalcy--a paradigm for the resiliency of youth. Strickland's varied illustrations capture the many moods of the text and the assertion that "Katrina turned New Orleans inside out."
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
