BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
When disaster strikes, the two children are left alone – no home, no parents – just a blanket and an orange. Along with other stragglers, they make beds on the beach and share the little they have with each other, hoping that rescue might arrive soon.
Oh my heart – a sweet simple look at the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Simple and gentle enough for little children to understand and hopefully begin developing empathy for displaced people. The place and the people are kept neutral (not white, though) to help the book apply to any displaced people.
