Lupita’s Hurricane Palomitas
Written by Alexandra Alessandri

Published by Beaming Books
Kindness can be shown during even the harshest of storms.
Shutters rattled. Wind howled. As a ferocious hurricane descends upon her town, Lupita finds two baby birds who have fallen out of their nest and brings them inside to shelter them from the storm. While Lupita and her family wait out the tempest, she focuses on protecting the palomitas to alleviate her own fears and hopes she can soon reunite them with their mother.
Perfect for families living in hurricane-prone states or with children who have storm-related anxieties, Lupita’s Hurricane Palomitas offers a gentle, soothing story about extending a hand of kindness to others even while facing fears of our own. The book includes Spanish-language vocabulary words and a glossary in the back.
