**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.
"Filled with movement and joy.... The concept of wind in all
its varieties is explained simply and beautifully with just enough
information
for curious young readers."--Kirkus review of Windy Days
