Natural and man-made disasters are becoming more commonplace in children's lives, and this touching free-verse picture book provides a straightforward account of Hurricane Katrina. In alternating voices, four friends describe their lives before, during, and after the storm and how, even though the world can change in a heartbeat, people define the character of their community and offer one another comfort and hope even in the darkest hours. Adrienne, Keesha, Michael, and Tommy have been friends for forever. They live on the same street—a street in New Orleans where everyone knows everybody. They play together all day long, every chance they get. It's always been that way. But then people start talking about a storm headed straight for New Orleans. The kids must part ways, since each family deals with Hurricane Katrina in a different manner. And suddenly everything that felt like home is gone.Renée Watson's lyrical free verse is perfectly matched in Shadra Strickland's vivid mixed media art. Together they celebrate the spirit and resiliency of New Orleans, especially its children.

When a mysterious man arrives one day on Orange Street, the children who live on the block try to find out who he is and why heâs there. Little do they know that his storyâand the story of a very old orange treeâconnects to each of their personal worries in ways they never could have imagined. From impressing friends to dealing with an expanding family to understanding a younger siblingâs illness, the charactersâ storylines come together around that orange tree.Taking place over the course of a day and a half, Joanne Rocklinâs masterful novel deftly builds a story about family, childhood anxieties, and the importance of connection. In the end the fate of the tree (and the kids who care for it) reminds us of the magic of the everyday and of the rich history all around us.Praise for One Day and One Amazing Morning on Orange StreetSTARRED REVIEWSâUnfolding in one dayâs time, the story recounts how secrets are revealed, curiosity is satisfied and wishing becomes hope because the spirit and ties of friendship and community are resilient and strong. Fully realized characters and setting definitely make this one morning on Orange Street amazing.ââKirkus Reviews, starred review"Fascinating and thought-provoking, the writing has a gentle cadence, richness in detail, and is charged with emotion. The book, like the oranges on the Orange Street tree, presents segments of life that are both sweet and tart and sure to satisfy."âSchool Library Journal, starred reviewâA touching story, beautifully told in multiple viewpoints.ââBooklistâEach chapter focalizes the third-person narration through a particular child, and the book weaves the singular tales into a larger story about a community that is pleasingly quirky but still believable. Readers and parents looking for some wholesome sweetness will want to make a visit to Orange Street.ââThe Bulletin of the Center for Childrenâs BooksAWARD:Pennsylvania School Librarians Association (PSLA) Young Adult Top Forty list
