Description
In August 1969, one of the strongest storms in history, Hurricane Camille, struck the
Mississippi Gulf Coast and beyond. This children’s storybook retells the storm in a
gentle, hopeful way, showing how families prepared, endured, and rebuilt with
courage and kindness.
Far out in the Gulf of Mexico, a storm named Camille grew into one of the fiercest
hurricanes ever. When she struck Mississippi, the winds and waves destroyed entire
towns. Families faced fear and loss, but they also discovered courage, kindness, and
the strength of community. Even as Camille’s rains caused floods in Virginia, people
came together to help one another. Through the storm, children learn that hope
shines brightest after the darkest nights.
