This is an extremely powerful book for both children and adults. The testaments from the children who lived through Katrina are gripping, and really help to bring this disaster into reality for those of us who did not live through it. The illustrated depictions of Katrina made by the children are equally as compelling. This is an excellent book to help explain to a child about the devastation caused by Katrina, or any natural disaster. I highly recommend this for every library's collection, as well as for every home.
