Jill Klaskin Press Says:
Don’t forget about involving the children…
I am the author of Time to Get Ready…A Hurricane is Coming to Our Town! This is the first book in the Time to Get Ready series and will help explain the phenomenon of hurricanes to children ages 4-8 in a “grow and learn” non-threatening way, from a child’s perspective. This book is a paperback and although it was just released last month, it is drawing interest from Meteorologists, Science Museums and teachers. It is dedicated To the children…the most vulnerable people affected by natural disasters. A portion of the proceeds from sales will be donated to hurricane victims through a partnership with charitable organizations such as, Feed The Children.
I think the book is a must read for children living in coastal regions. Please take a look at my website http://www.time2getready.com and don’t forget about involving the children!
