Read and find out about the wind--what causes it, how it can be used
to help us, and how it affects the weather--in this colorfully
illustrated nonfiction picture book.
Air is always moving. We can't see air moving, though we can watch it
push clouds across the sky, or shake the leaves of a tree. We call
moving air the wind.

own weather vane, and in simple terms, with playful illustrations, he
explains just what makes the wind that blows all around us.
