A Storm Called Katrina by Myron Uhlberg is a basic introduction to Hurricane Katrina in a picture book format. The highlight of the book is the gorgeous full-colour illustrations.

A Storm Called Katrina follows a young boy, Louis Daniel, and his family during a hurricane. The most striking aspect of the book are the oil painting illustrations. They are very realistic, as if looking at photos from the event. The text is concise, yet still tells the story in an interesting way. The author's note gives lots of additional information, which adds to the story.
