"And when we hear
wind chimes playing
at night, that's Wind
singing us to sleep."
The Canadian prairies have had their share of wind and cold weather over the first few weeks of February. We are happy to know that the next few days will bring a reprieve. In Micha Archer's new book, readers follow a trio of children with a specific question for Wind.
"How will you blow today?"
As the seasons pass them by, Wind always has an answer. In spring, Wind puffs at petals, nudges clouds and plays with wind chimes. It's not always easy to know which way the wind will blow. In summer, it helps fly kites, and brings breezes to cool hot bodies that refuse to move. It also surprises with summer storms and chases children inside to watch from a safe space.
Through the seasons, Wind continues to be a part of the children's activities and musings. Lovely language and gorgeous acrylic ink and collage artwork offer a clear and telling look at wind and its wonders. Readers are sure to be dazzled by the changing perspectives, the varied experiences, and the full-of-joy ending.
