H Is for Harvey

Through touching rhymes and vivid illustrations (and a heap of help from the letter H), H is for Harvey portrays the struggles and heartaches of those caught in Hurricane Harvey’s rising waters. This engaging and memorable story shows how the plight of Harvey’s victims brought out the best in Texans and in compassionate people everywhere.

Written with a whole lot of heart, H is for Harvey provides children and families a greater understanding of this historic storm and a greater appreciation for human kindness as a whole. Readers of all ages will be touched by the book’s message of help, healing, and hope to hang onto—no matter what storms life throws your way.

Inquisitive readers will learn even more Hurricane Harvey facts in the “H is for How” section. H is for Heroes. H is for Hashtags like #Houstonstrong. H is for Helping—with all of the book’s royalties going to Harvey relief efforts.
