Review
"This is exactly told, down-to-earth story about folks coming together in troubled times will evoke readers’ empathy. The excellent, realistic illustrations, rendered in pencil and watercolors, enhance the already accessible, satisfying reading experience."―Kirkus
"Naturalistic spreads in Rocco’s signature style capture the peace of the child’s world and the drama of the hurricane’s arrival and aftermath."―Publisher Weekly
*"Rocco’s dramatic, naturalistic digitally colored watercolor illustrations, a mix of panels, single pages, and spreads, show the impending storm approaching and the community’s preparations of boarding up houses and taping windows….As in the author’s Blizzard, it is the human response to a weather event that informs this strikingly illustrated, straightforwardly told book’s theme."

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful
This is a beautiful book. It is well written, and well made. I recommend it
5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Standout!!!
If you are not familiar with John Rocco, you need to head to the library and check out his books immediately. His stories are always beautifully illustrated, engaging, and often have positive underlying messages. I’m a huge fan of his work and his newest book HURRICANE is a real stunner!The story follows a little boy who loves fishing on a dock near his home. When a hurricane ravages the dock and most of his street, he helps his neighbors repair the damage. Upon finding the dock destroyed, the resilient boy works day after day to fix it. Ultimately, the entire community comes together and rebuilds the dock for everyone to enjoy.Clever child-friendly analogies explain the dramatic effect of the hurricane while the rich illustrations skillfully capture the beauty of the boy’s world. Best of all, readers will feel reassured and inspired by the community’s ability to come together and create something good from a difficult situation.In addition to the captivating story, the gorgeous under-the-jacket reveal and informative end papers describing how hurricanes form make this book a real standout!
Great book for preschoolers who love science
My son is almost 4 and loves this book so much that he can almost recite it by heart. I have ordered two more books by John Rocco, "Blackout" and "Blizzard," hoping that my youngster will love them just as much. The book has great illustrations and difficult language, so it's wonderful to expand your child's vocabulary. It has an explanation in the back how to build a dock, which my son loves to talk about over and over again. And if you've ever survived a hurricane (we lived through a tornado), it's a valuable life lesson with pictures. The morale of the story is that others will help you if you help them, and I hope my son takes this to heart when he is around other kids, too. I warmly recommend this book to other parents and grandparents.
