Blustery wind, burns and shrieks Nibbles on my nose and cheeks
For preschoolers, windy fall days mean excitement and play. Strong winds
stimulate children and their surroundings, as though an invisible hand
is shaking the world. Gentler breezes help plants scatter their seeds,
set pinwheels in motion, and keep kite strings taut. But fiercer winds
begin to sting the cheeks as they bring about a new season...
In Windy Days, author Deborah Kerbel once again captures the
magic of early childhood awe and wonder with rhyming couplets as light
as a breath of fresh air. Illustrator Miki Sato's unique tactile
collage art pops off the page through its detailed use of hand-stitching
and textural materials.
"Kerbel's couplets include both concrete details and more poetic
abstractions. Sato's deceptively simple illustrations are almost
tangible in their layers, showcasing an array of stitches, paper
finishes, and fabric surfaces, and depicting an inclusive
cast."--Publishers Weekly review of Snow Days
