Description: "From Antarctica's biting katabatic gusts to Hawai'i's sweet-smelling moani, discover fourteen winds of the world through poetry, scientific facts, and transporting illustrations."--Provided by publisher.
Review Quotes: Pairing evocative poems with informative text, authors Crowder and Benedict introduce wind to young readers . . Poetic tone and form tend to match the subjects: playful rhyme and jaunty meter introduces the maestro, a warm sea breeze that blows over Italy in the summer months; onomatopoeia effectively conveys the booms and clashes of the Sumatra Squall. . . The digital art is energetic and flowing, as smudgy, swirling textures, sleek lines, and negative space all work together to highlight the feel and effect of each wind. An easy pick for a seasonal storytime, be sure to have this ready on breezy or blustery days.
