Katrina: Through Mango's Eyes

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast Region of the United States, leaving catastrophic flooding in its wake. It's fury destroyed property, shattered lives, and separated and displaced families, changing the area forever. In the weeks following the storm, dedicated rescue workers helped save thousands of aquarium, zoo, and domestic animals that were left behind. Based upon a true story, "Katrina, Through Mango's Eyes" is a heartwarming tale about a pet parrot that survives the hurricane and is later rescued and reunited with her family. Author Sheila Pippin wrote the book in order to help children cope with the trauma and heartbreak of tragic losses, and prove that all things heal with the passage of time.
