Teaching Ideas: |
The book, which contributes a human dimension to the study of weather, could be used with A Time of Wonder, The Weather Sky, or Hurricanes. The epilogue material provides the topic of why people return or not to flood-prone areas. The book promotes discussion of preparation for natural disasters, especially those prevalent in one's own locality. The story is told from the point of view of a child.
