I bought this to read to my PreK class when we were learning about wind and other "mysterious" movers. It's written from the POV of a little boy who talks about the wind as a living thing. The art is very well done and I think the personification of the wind helped make the story more interesting.

This is a wonderfully ageless book that appeals to multiple generations of children—and their parents and grandparents. The artwork is especially appealing.

After reading the book, here is a suggestion for you to do with your kid. "Ask your child what things they have seen the wind playing with. Have they ever lost a balloon to the wind, flown a kite, or watched the leaves being blown from the trees? Go outside with your child and blow bubbles together, then watch where the wind takes them."
