Book Synopsis



"Céleste sauve la ville" entraîne les lecteurs dans la vie d'une jeune fille forcée de quitter sa chère maison, alors que l'ouragan Katrina menace d'inonder la Nouvelle-Orléans. Déterminée à jouer un rôle clé dans l'avenir, Céleste envisage de devenir ingénieure civile et découvre comment protéger les zones humides pour ralentir les crues, lors de violents ouragans et tempêtes.


Présentant aux lecteurs le génie civil, tout en rendant hommage à la Nouvelle-Orléans (aussi appelée la Big Easy ), ce conte semi-autobiographique encourage les enfants de tous horizons, à faire carrière dans les STIM (science, technologie, ingénierie et mathématiques), tout en réaffirmant la nécessité de poursuivre les efforts pour protéger les villes côtières de l'impact des catastrophes météorologiques.


Celeste Saves the City pulls readers into the life of a young girl forced to leave her beloved home as Hurricane Katrina threatens to flood New Orleans. Determined to make a difference in the future, she sets her sights on becoming a civil engineer and Celeste figures out how to protect the wetlands that slow down flood waters during bad storms and hurricanes.


Introducing readers to civil engineering while paying homage to the "Big Easy", this semi-autobiographical tale encourages children from diverse backgrounds to pursue careers in STEM and elevates the need for continued efforts to protect coastal cities from the impact of catastrophic weather events.
