Una Tormenta Llamada Katrina (Spanish Edition)
by Myron Uhlberg (Author) Colin Bootman (Illustrator)
Una conmovedora historia de los efectos del huracán Katrina en la gente de Nueva Orleans, vista a través de los ojos de un niño de diez años. Louis Daniel odia que mamá lo trate como a un bebé. Pero cuando el huracán Katrina azota la costa del Golfo en una fatídica noche de agosto, Louis se siente como un niño pequeño otra vez. Sin tiempo para recoger sus pertenencias, excepto el amado cuerno de Louis, papá conduce a la familia desde su casa hacia un mundo desconocido y acuático de escombros flotantes, bichos al acecho y vecinos desesperados que se dirigen a tierra seca. Refugiados en el ya abarrotado Superdomo, Louis y sus padres esperan... y esperan. Las condiciones siguen empeorando y el suministro de agua se está acabando. Cuando papá no regresa de una misión de exploración dentro del Domo, Louis sabe que ya no es un bebé. Depende de él encontrar a su padre... con la ayuda de su preciada corneta.

Gr 1-4—Louis Daniel and his family must find a way back home after suffering through the devastation Hurricane Katrina. They first float to safety and then find their way to the Superdome where it's very crowded and dangerous. Louis Daniel gets separated from his father as things get more challenging. The boy makes a four-legged friend along the way. After many challenges, they finally find their way home thanks to Louis Daniel and his cornet. The family is Black, in keeping with the large population of Black people in New Orleans who were affected by the tragedy. The old-fashioned artwork is made of dark, murky colors very fitting for the subject. Still, the carefree illustrations with Louis Daniel and his dog offer a sliver of hope and joy. VERDICT An important story of survival and small victories during devastating times. A good choice for Spanish-language shelves looking for realistic and historical works.—Lissette Perez-Hernandez
