A Read Aloud of "Hurricane" by David Wiesner
About This Book The morning after a hurricane, two brothers find an uprooted tree which becomes a magical place, transporting them on adventures limited only by their imaginations. A fallen tree becomes the threshold to a voyage of the imagination that David and George share as only true friends — and brothers — can. "We wouldn't wish a real hurricane on children, but this book will give them a taste of the magic of the moment when the lights go out." — School Library Journal, starred review About the Authors or Illustrators David Wiesner David Wiesner is an author and illustrator.
