Quail Ridge Press is now shipping and taking new orders for the third printing of Story of a Storm and is presenting another $25,000 check at Coast Episcopal School this month, representing proceeds from sales since first printing.

With the destruction of a second printing by typhoons in Korea, we scrambled to secure another printer to make certain to have books for Christmas 2006. Amazingly, the second edition SOLD OUT before it was delivered and a third printing was ordered immediately.

Please help us sell out this printing, too. THANK YOU for your support! : )


Hurricane Katrina was coming. So begins Story of a Storm, a vividly illustrated story book by Reona Visser and children of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, about the hurricane and its effects on cities, families, and countless individual lives.

The story is told through creative and collaborative collage art with a simple story that expresses profound emotions and describes the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. The story begins with preparation and evacuation, moves through the stresses of being displaced and not knowing the whereabouts of loved ones or the condition of one's home and belongings, and ends with a message of the persistence of hope.

ALL proceeds benefit the Hurricane Relief Fund at Coast Episcopal School to assist the families of students and faculty, 85% of whom were left homeless by Hurricane Katrina.
