Whose Boat Is This Boat?: Comments That Don’t Help in the Aftermath
of a Hurricane is a picture book made entirely of quotations from
President Donald Trump in the wake of Hurricane Florence. It is the
first children’s book that demonstrates what not to say after a natural
disaster.
On September 19, 2018, Donald Trump paid a visit to New Bern, North
Carolina, one of the towns ravaged by Hurricane Florence. It was there
he showed deep concern for a boat that washed ashore. “At least you got a
nice boat out of the deal,” said President Trump to hurricane victims.
“Have a good time!” he told them. The only way his comments would be
appropriate is in the context of a children’s book—and now you can
experience them that way, thanks to the staff of The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert.
Whose Boat Is This Boat? is an excellent teaching tool for readers
of all ages who enjoy learning about empathy by process of elimination.
Have a good time!
