Drowned City: Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans
written and illustrated by Don Brown, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
About
91´«Ã½
“A swirl of unremarkable wind leaves Africa…” and makes its way to what will become the drowned city of New Orleans. Simple black ink lines and dramatic watercolors pull readers into the deep water. Heroes surface, and people find courage, but much in this exceptional graphic novel is about incompetence, racism, and the resilience of the people of the Crescent City.
