“This tender tale highlights the beauty of the natural world while inviting readers to find wonder in everyday moments.”—Booklist Seasons come and go, and the wind wafts its way through them all. This delights a family of children, and when they ask the wind, “How will you blow today?” they marvel at the surprise answers they'll receive. Will the wind send gentle breezes that tickle and delight, cooling them off on hot days? Or strong gusts that knock their hats off and send them running inside on stormy days? Only one thing is for certain to the wind watchers—the wind is an always-changing wonder that constantly takes their breath away! Complete with stunning, richly textured collage illustrations and lyrical text, this thoughtful and whimsical picture book demonstrates nature’s dynamic abilities, celebrating its awe-inspiring connection to those who watch.
