Synopsis L’Ouragan (The Hurricane) is one of a series of
picture books about Lucette, a young girl living in the
French Caribbean with her family. In this book,
Lucette’s family are preparing for the arrival of
Hurricane Octave. The preparations done, they enter
their shelter and wait for it to pass. As the rain and
wind beat against the building, Lucette realises they
have left the dog, Cacahouète, outside. Worried, she
waits for the adults to sleep and escapes with her pig,
Augustin. Braving the storm, they find that the dog
has given birth to puppies, and was safely hiding
elsewhere. They bring the mother and her puppies to
the shelter. When her parents wake up, they find
Lucette, the pig, the dog and her puppies all asleep.
In the sample pages, we see Lucette’s family
preparing for the hurricane.
