This beautifully illustrated, wordless book shows the home of a family living near water.  The children happily play outside and enjoy using technology indoors.  The father is concerned with an approaching storm.  Although they place sandbags around they house to mitigate damage, they reluctantly decide to abandon their home and flee to safety.  As the storm abates, the family returns to view the damage.  After a moment of grief, they energetically move to rebuild.  Once again the home is returned to its former, tranquil condition and the family relaxes and enjoys an idyllic life once more.  The paintings are large, filled with color and powerful.  There are ample opportunities to discuss storms and flooding, emotions from comfort to grief, and perseverance with younger students, to the use of color and perspective in art with older students.  On the surface a very simple topic, this book provides a variety of deeper themes.  Recommended for all elementary library collections.
