Dear Katie, The Volcano Is a Girl
What's This Book About
What is a volcano? Katie’s grandmother thinks that it is a geophysical phenomena caused by the movements of the earth’s crust. But Katie is sure that the volcano is Pele, a Hawaiian goddess. Katie and her grandmother each argue their points, and it is not long before they realize that they are both right.With glowing watercolor illustrations, this original picture book tells the tale of Katie’s and her grandmother’s loving relationship, and of the natural history and mythology of volcanoes.
