The Hurricane Story

Is your little explorer curious about giant storms?

This exciting book takes kids on an adventure to learn all about hurricanes!

This delightful children's book, written by Cyrena Arnold and beautifully illustrated by Landon Goldsborough, takes young readers on an educational journey about hurricanes. The story begins by introducing Earth as our home, highlighting the vast blue oceans where hurricanes roam. Before diving into the details of hurricanes, the book explains that these powerful storms originate from a faraway land covered in sand—the continent of Africa.

Through engaging rhymes and vivid illustrations, the book explains how tiny pieces of sand in water droplets come together to form towering clouds over the warm ocean. As these clouds grow, they set the stage for a tropical disturbance that can eventually develop into a tropical storm and then a hurricane.

The narrative continues by describing how the winds grow stronger and the atmospheric pressure drops, leading to the formation of a hurricane. Inside the storm, rain pours, sea levels rise, and winds roar, emphasizing the need for a warm ocean to sustain the hurricane's strength.

The book also addresses safety measures, advising readers to have clean water, food, and flashlights ready in case they need to evacuate or if supplies become scarce during the storm. It reassures children that while hurricanes can be scary when they make landfall, they usually pass quickly, and the sun will shine again.

Finally, as the hurricane story concludes, the book emphasizes that weather is ever-changing and that each storm teaches us something new. A glossary at the end helps reinforce key hurricane-related terms for young readers.

Overall, this book is an excellent resource for children to learn about hurricanes in a fun and engaging way, blending educational content with captivating illustrations.
