Over in the Wetlands: a hurricane-on-the-Bayou story by Caroline Rose & Rob Dunleavey. 40 p. Random House Children's Books, July 14, 2015. 9780449810163.
Publisher synopsis: Publishing in time for the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, here is a beautiful read-aloud about animal families preparing for an impending storm in their bayou habitat.
Journey to the Louisiana wetlands and watch as all the animals of the bayou experience one of nature’s most dramatic and awe-inspiring events: a hurricane. The animals prepare—swimming for safer seas, finding cover in dens, and nestling their young close to protect them. During the height of the storm, even the trees react, cracking and moaning in the wind. At last, the hurricane yawns and rests, and animals come out to explore their world anew.
I must admit, when I first glimpsed this cover, I thought that Tom Yezerski was coming out a new book.
