I Am the Storm by Rebecca Guay, Jane Yolen

2.0

Nice uses of similes and metaphors and would be very helpful when explaining those devices to children, however, this book is extremely insensitive towards families and communities that have already been wrecked by natural disasters. You can teach children to be calm but you can’t teach them that they can always “return home” after a hurricane when their homes have already been wiped away by hurricanes. It’s obvious that the author is from Massachusetts and has never been personally impacted by any type of natural disaster.
