I'm glad we have these books that share the hope that was still alive on 9.11 and afterwards.

My problem with this lovely book is its intended audience. It is written too simplistically for students who are old enough to understand 9-11 and Hurricane Katrina, and won't make sense to younger students. I'm not sure what to do with it.

Very readable non-fiction with absolutely beautiful illustrations! A wonderful book to read to a class while studying Sept. 11th.

While the illustrations are gorgeous I believe I'm struggling with the overall tone, and to invoke Hurricane Katrina without featuring a single black or brown face is deeply, deeply troubling to me. I think this title could be used as a tool during discussion about the events of September 11th 2oo1, but would not stand up on its own.

I definitely cried reading this the first time. Awe-inspiring illustrations and a redemption story make a great combination!

Interesting book. Not sure how the age group it's intended for would take it.
