A great story to use in relation to the pandemic. There was a storm that caused everyone to stay inside. The family in the book struggles with all the time they have stuck indoors together. At the end they learn how to work together as a family.

An apt metaphor for the COVID-19 pandemic, "The Longest Storm" tells the story of a single dad and his three kids, weathering a storm together that seems to last forever.

An allegory for covid 19, this book could be a useful tool for older kids. It didn't feel like a "must have" for me, but it passed the time well enough as a library borrow.
