A heroic tale of boats, large and small, teaming up and lending a hand
in a time of need, based on the true story of a community that came
together to rescue survivors of Hurricane Katrina.
When the wind is high and the barometer is low, it can mean only one
thing: Hurricane! In the aftermath of a terrible storm, a coastal
community is left in shambles, with thousands of people stranded on cars
or rooftops. The Coast Guard is stretched to its limit, and all along
the coast, schooners and sloops and speedboats wonder What can I do? I
am only one little boat. But by working together, even the littlest
boats can make a difference.
Based on the true story of the Cajun Navy that came together in the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and has continued to assist in rescue
efforts after every major hurricane to strike the Gulf Coast in the
years since, this tale of courage and community will inspire readers of
all ages to step up and do their part.
