Book Description
for Wind Watchers by Micha Archer
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
“Sometimes we call out to Wind, ‘How will you blow today?’ In spring, Wind answers with a puff at the petals, making them flutter and fall, or by nudging rain clouds to send us showers.” Simple, descriptive text describes the changing nature of the wind throughout the four seasons as seen through the eyes of a trio of brown-skinned siblings. Gorgeous, layered illustrations made from acrylic ink and patterned paper collage bring vitality and dimension to the children’s escapades with the wind on the beach, during a rainstorm, and while the autumn leaves fall. Wind Watchers offers young readers a way to appreciate the invisibility of the wind through the vibrant and visible ways it engages the senses and interacts with the environment.
