| Summary |
"What's the wind like today? Is it a feather drifting slowly to the ground or an excited puppy running after a butterfly? A train barreling down the tracks or a helpful hand pushing you along? Winds can be soft, strong, fast, lazy and everything in between -- and readers will encounter them all in this poetic informational picture book as it explores types of wind from breezes to tornadoes. Through striking and unusual metaphors like a whisk or boxing gloves, author Debra Kempf Shumaker and illustrator Joše Bisaillon introduce the youngest of readers to the science of wind and the descriptive powers of figurative language. This is the perfect pick for anyone looking to pair poetry with science, ending with a question designed to get readers dusting off their own descriptive skills: How would you describe the wind today?"-- |
