K-Gr 2—Extreme weather can be scary and fascinating to young readers. From blistering wildfires to icy blizzards, one can learn about the causes, effects, and day-to-day life of people living through them. The Hurricane and Blizzard titles both address headline-hitting issues in a way that makes sense to younger audiences. With our growing climate crisis disrupting regular weather patterns and children experiencing more extreme weather and natural disasters themselves, these are necessary for answering the tough questions of emerging readers. VERDICT These titles are indispensable for public and school libraries, both for the generally curious and those working on school projects.
