Book overview
In Wind Whirls, two young children, guided by an adult, take an early winter walk through a city neighborhood, bracing against the wind as they make their way to their grandparents' home. The sounds of the wind surround them--whoosh, rustle, bang, flap-flap-flap. The wind brings sensation too. Cousins Kamali and Josiah feel their scarves dancing around their necks and the force of the wind pushing them along. They learn that, together, they can stand stronger and find their way through any weather.
Wind Whirls:- Celebrates Diversity and Togetherness: While highlighting children in diverse, urban environments, this engaging kids book encourages young children to reflect on the natural world and togetherness.
- Nurtures Connections to Nature: Simple text and vivid illustrations are used throughout the toddler book to show children how they can connect with nature and its lessons in an inviting and easy-to-understand way.
- Includes Helpful Tips for Parents & Caregivers: This children's book features additional guidance and engaging toddler activities to help children learn more about nature and their own senses.
This book is part of the Outside Our Window Board Books series, which encourages children--especially those in urban environments--to explore, protect, and delight in nature. Each book in the series focuses on one feature of the natural world (like wind), one sense (hearing), and one communication or relationship skill (togetherness). The books emphasize community and encourage children and families to explore the natural world around them.
