PreS-Gr 2–This lovely, lyrical book is all about wind. Every spread has metaphors about the wind; some also have scientific information about how the speed and direction change what people call it, such as the difference between a headwind and tailwind, or a gale and a hurricane. Softly colored artwork in mixed media provides an excellent contrast to the text, helping readers connect their experiences to the ideas presented. A diverse array of people are represented in illustrations; readers will be eager to make their own connections to the concept of wind.
VERDICT An excellent mentor text for either poetry or science, this book is also an elegant way to compare and contrast different kinds of wind in a toddler or preschool setting. A first choice for any library.
