Caldecott and Sibert Medalist Jason Chin will read his new book Hurricane. It’s a beautiful day on Hatteras Island, North Carolina. But while all seems calm now, a hurricane is barreling across the Atlantic, and everyone is wondering when it will hit the U.S. coast - and where.

Jason will host a live drawing demo after the storytime.
