Rosie and the hurricane
Hi! I am Rosie. I am so happy you are here!
Where do you live?
I live in Florida and hurricane season happens EVERY YEAR UGH!
This is my dog napoleon
He is my best friend! He doesn’t like storms, ESPECIALLY Hurricanes.
But we make the best of it
You wanna know why? Because Napoleon and I help my Mommy prepare before every storm. That makes me feel less scared. What makes you feel less scared?
We are so grateful to be a part of the SWFL community. Our friends at The Sanibel Captiva Foundation and Advanced Hurricane Technology have partnered to bring this book to all kids in the Lee County School System. That means that we need YOUR help to print and distribute 20,000 copies to kids who were greatly affected by hurricane Ian in 2022. Please consider a donation today!
