Reviews (starred review)
From Caldecott Medalist Ed Young comes a picture book retelling of
Aesop's fable The Wind and the Sun.
Once upon the sky, there were three powers--the Wind, the Rain, and the
Sun--each claiming to be the mightier than the others. One day, the
powers came upon a shepherd girl fast asleep upon a hill, so they made a
bet to see who could make her take her cap off. Who will be the
strongest of them all?
Rendered in exquisite mixed-media collage, Caldecott Medalist Ed Young's
gorgeous and deeply poignant retelling of the well-known Aesop's fable
The Wind and the Sun, proves that sometimes gentle persuasion and
kindness are the best virtues of all.
Praise for The Weather's Bet
Lyrical and profound. --School Library Journal
