Hurricane Take two boys, a ferocious storm, and a towering elm, and you’ve 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.  Reviews“. . . Another work to delight children and spark their imaginations. Wiesner’s detailed, exquisitely rendered paintings draw the reader into his story of a hurricane’s progress with all the sweep and immediacy of a film sequence. . . . This is an exuberant, absorbing slice of life.”— Publishers Weekly “This picture book explores imaginative extensions of reality, but is all the more involving for its basis in ordinary life. . . . Robust and real, this one is guaranteed to get them outdoors.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
