Reach for this book when your child is processing a major upheaval, natural disaster, or the loss of a familiar environment. It is an essential tool for navigating the 'before and after' of a crisis, offering a safe space to acknowledge both the fear of a storm and the slow, beautiful process of recovery. The story follows Elena and her family in Puerto Rico as they prepare for, endure, and eventually rebuild after a hurricane. While the hurricane scenes are visceral, the focus remains on the strength of community and the resilience of nature. It is particularly appropriate for children ages 4 to 8 who may be feeling anxious about the weather or struggling with a sense of lost security. Parents will appreciate the lyrical, bilingual text that honors Puerto Rican culture while providing a universal roadmap for finding hope when things feel broken.
