The Hurricane Cheer

I was invited to a number of public and private schools to read my picture story book, Gullah, the Nawleans Cat Meets Katrina.  Children in the lower grades were too young to remember Katrina, but the older ones did, thanks to TV coverage. Kids, however, are never too young to educate about danger.  During my author visits, the kids and I, with appropriate hand gestures, would act out our Hurricane Cheer.

Hurry, Hurry, Hurricane! Hurry, Hurry, Hurricane!  

What to do?  What to do?  What to do?

Hurry, Hurry, Hurricane! Hurry, Hurry, Hurricane! 

Listen up.  Listen up.  Listen up.

Hurry, Hurry, Hurricane!  Hurry, Hurry, Hurricane!

Stock up.  Stock up.  Stock up.

Hurry, Hurry, Hurricane!  Hurry, Hurry, Hurricane!                          

 If you're told ... if you're told ... to evacuate ...?                                                                  

  GET OUT OF TOWN!  Go ... GO ... GO!
