Hurricane by David Wiesner
A taste of the magical moment when the lights go out
Take two boys, a ferocious storm, and a towering elm, and youve got prime material for imaginative play, David Wiesner style. Hurricane is the semi-autobiographical story of two brothers who use a tree felled by a storm as the jumping-off place for wonderful games of make-believe. Even when the tree is cut up and hauled away, ending those games, the adventurous spirit fostered by the fallen giant remains.
