Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When the exhausted winter wind throws a snowy tantrum, it finds comfort in the friendship of two young children in this lyrical retelling of a Yiddish folktale illustrated with stunning collage.
Winter Wind worked hard all season long
blowing away leaves,
preparing trees for coats of snow and ice.
Now, Wind is tired and needs a place to rest. But no one wants to shelter so cold and blustery a Wind--not the townspeople, not the country innkeeper, not even the gnarled tree who is worried about frozen roots.
Finally, Wind does what any of us do when we are overtired- Wind has a tantrum. And it is only with the help of two small children brave enough to weather the storm that Wind finally finds the perfect place to sleep.
Based on a Yiddish folktale, the gentle language of this seasonal story is coupled with intricate cut-paper collage dioramas tell this sweet tale about empathy and friendship. The visuals in this book are striking for their vibrancy, palette, and movement.
A perfect read for a cold, blustery day, or at bedtime with your own sleepy loved ones.
A Bank Street Best Book of the Year
Subtitle from book jacket.
"This story was inspired by "Der Vint, Vos Iz Geven In Kas" ("The Wind Who Got Angry"), a tale by Moshe Kulbak first published in 1921 in what is now Vilnius, Lithuania, under the auspices of Der Tsentraler Shul-organizatsye (The Central School Organization)" -- Author's Note
After working hard through the fall and winter, Wind is ready for a nap but after being turned away time and again he becomes angry.
