About the book:
A hurricane is barreling toward Max’s coastal home. Max is scared. What will happen to his family and friends and home as this monster storm roars in?
My review:
This well written book follows along with Max who lives near the ocean front but experiences at times weather that effects his family life. This book written in 3rd person illustrates how children process little and big things that are important to them. In Max's case it is a hurricane and what will happen to his things.
The adults are seen as helping through the children in the book by giving them suggestions but also allowing them to be their own heroes. The kids themselves talk with each other and have their own peer support.
Overall, the book is meant to help children navigate changes in their lives and to process those things they are unsure of. Excellent concept!
The books illustrations must be mentioned because they are bold and colorful. The characters facial expressions lend a hand to the overall feel of the book.
