Summary
This story is about the wind and a little black boy. The child talks about wind and what it likes or doesn't like. He is with the wind when it blows away his balloon, blows the laundry on the line, blows down an apple from the tree, and finally when the wind stops blowing. In the end the little boy lies down under the willow tree and falls asleep with the wind.
Personal Response:
I liked the simplicity of the story. I really like it when stories make you aware of or make you think about aspects of like that you hadn't really thought about before. The child's simple response and thoughts about the wind are very calm and sweet. I really liked how simple the illustrations were. There were only three colors throughout the entire book.
Potential Problems:
I couldn't find any potential problems.
Recommended too...
I would recommend this book to young children that need to settle down or go to sleep. This book seems very calming.
