Dear Katie, the Volcano Is a Girl

32 pp. | Hyperion | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-7868-0314-2 $$14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel Powers. On a trip to Hawaii, a woman and her granddaughter trade explanations for the magnificent volcanoes and their eruptions. The narrative weaves together descriptions of the geological processes with stories of the goddess Pele, ultimately illustrating their compatibility. The bright watercolors are more effective at illustrating the legend than the science.
