Notes

Natural disasters fascinate kids. Books full of violent volcanoes, horrendous hurricanes, bridge-eating earthquakes, and town-trashing tornadoes are popular. Why? Is it awe-inspiring extreme-power-of-nature that attracts? Maybe it's the mind-blowing pictures of flipped cars and flooded cities. Or the fact that many kids like being a little scared—especially when deep down they feel safe in the belief that natural disasters happen elsewhere, not here. They ruin the lives of other people, not us.
