Lola and the Hurricane: A Severe Weather Preparedness Book for Young Children

Lola prepares to evacuate with her father and grandmother while making sure her pets are safe. A relatable story to help children prepare for hurricane evacuation. There are lots of books that teach about science topics, but few that tell the children what to do with that information. This book is here to fill that void. Using a relatable story where a child and her family are preparing to evacuate, children learn what a hurricane coming towards them means: It means that you prepare your house for the storm and you evacuate. Emergency weather conditions can be scary for young children. They may have learned that hurricanes can destroy houses and even kill people. Moving the knowledge into action reduces the fear factor. If you live in a coastal area with young children…this is a book you need to have! Written by 2 mothers and educators who are trying to make basic science information accessible and equitable.
