It's Only the Wind is set in the foothills of the mountains. It is
that time of night when young kids have a hard time transitioning to
sleep and call out to mom from bed with one request after another. This
story playfully hops back and forth between real and imagined, fact and
fantasy, from soft, shadowy quiet to bright and colorful action. The
story celebrates children's heightened imagination with imagery that
takes the children from their cozy beds into the sky, away from their
room as they envision the meaning of their mother's explanations. Wind
words lyrically wind through the double spreads as the kids fly, sweep,
sing, and sail always with their eyes closed, as mom has asked them to
do so they can be ready for sleep. Sprawled among their bed sheets, the
children's curiosity is finally satisfied, as you will see in the end.
