As a child psychiatrist in New Orleans, I have treated many children who suffered through the events described in Ms. Dragon's book. Without resorting to overly simplified stereotypes, she sensitively depicts these children's suffering and survival, as well as the lives they led before the day that, for so many, was a major transition line in their development. Thank you Ms. Dragon for honoring the children of New Orleans with a story of Katrina from their point of view.
