Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

George is playing with his boats, but there's no wind to make them sail. Then one of the wind children comes and blows especially for him - and together they embark on a great adventure.

The wind child blows dandelions in the meadows, shakes apples from the tree and blows the leaves around and eventually she blows George home on a cloud.

From the author of The Story of the Root Children and The Story of the Snow Children, this is another classic children's story with beautiful art-nouveau illustrations that cultivate a feeling of magic and nostalgia.

This translation originally published: 2006.

Translated from the German.

George wants to play with his boats, but there's no breeze to make them sail. But Willow, one of the wind children, can blow the air enough to shake apples from the tree-- and send toy ships across the lake.
