Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This heartfelt story of resilience follows two siblings as they work to recover and rebuild after Hurricane Irma destroys their home in Puerto Rico.
Before an intense hurricane hits their home in Puerto Rico, Antonio told his sister vibrant stories each night. During the storm, they huddled with their parents in a closet and hear the storm blow the roof right off their home. After the storm, their family uses a temporary blue tarp for a roof, and Antonio stops speaking. Gradually the siblings imagine their blue roof playfully-as the ocean above them or a parachute helping them fall from the sky. As the narrator helps her little brother feel safe once more--and after the family and community build a new roof--the little boy begins to speak again.
Ages 4-8. Charlesbridge.
Grades K-1. Charlesbridge.
A girl in Puerto Rico copes with the aftermath of a hurricane, including her family's temporary blue tarp roof and her brother's refusal to speak. Includes notes about the author's life in Puerto Rico and the yearly ritual of preparing for hurricanes.
