It is with the youngest Hurricane Katrina victims in mind that Ken & Liz created Jake and Friends Encounter Hurricane Katrina. Within the pages of this book Jake, Pepper, and Blitz endure the journey of a lifetime. Through the adversity of the storm they share many lessons with the readers including the importance of having a safety plan, monitoring weather, sticking together, and finding hope in a seemingly hopeless situation.  Within these pages, colorfully illustrated by Michael Bise, the furry friends emerge through the disaster with lessons learned and the strength to start over. 

"Thanks to Jake and Friends my five-year-old grandson has a new understanding of hurricanes, and our family has a safety plan. This book is a great way to teach children about hurricanes in a non-threatening way that is entertaining and easy to understand. I look forward to Jake, Pepper and Blitz having many more adventures!"
