Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Blustery wind burns and shrieks
Nibbles on my nose and cheeks
For preschoolers, windy fall days mean excitement and play. Strong winds stimulate children and their surroundings, as though an invisible hand is shaking the world. Gentler breezes help plants scatter their seeds, set pinwheels in motion, and keep kite strings taut. But fiercer winds begin to sting the cheeks as they bring about a new season...
In Windy Days, author Deborah Kerbel once again captures the magic of early childhood awe and wonder with rhyming couplets as light as a breath of fresh air. Illustrator Miki Sato's unique tactile collage art pops off the page through its detailed use of hand-stitching and textural materials.
"Kerbel's couplets include both concrete details and more poetic abstractions. Sato's deceptively simple illustrations are almost tangible in their layers, showcasing an array of stitches, paper finishes, and fabric surfaces, and depicting an inclusive cast."--Publishers Weekly review of Snow Days
"Rhyming couplets celebrate windy weather, the sensory experience of wind, and the activities it makes possible from a preschooler's perspective. Mixed-media collage art shows young children engaging in outdoor activities, including scattering milkweed seeds, spinning pinwheels, flying kites, and struggling against a strong wind. A final page includes age-appropriate STEM activities related to wind."-- Provided by publisher.
