Noah knew he was different. He could see things that others couldn't,
like the patterns in the dust that floated down on sunbeams.
Noah is different. He sees, hears, feels, and thinks in ways that other
people don't always understand, and he asks a lot of questions along the
way. Noah loves science, especially the weather. His books usually
provide him with the answers he needs, until one day, there's one
question they don't answer--and that is where Noah's windy adventure
begins.
Filled with rich, sweeping illustrations, this picture book celebrates
the inquisitive nature of all children, including those on the autism
spectrum, who cannot stop asking a question until an answer has been
unearthed.
The book contains a page of information for parents, caregivers, and
educators about the importance of helping children feel good about their
differences and know that being different is okay.
