"Cupping her hands together, Willow blew at Georges boats. A few leaves floated gently off the tree. She blew again. This time a lively blast tugged at the sails and the boats were off, racing each other across the blue."



George wants to play with his boats, but theres no breeze to make them sail. Then he meets Willow, one of the lively wind children, who asks George to join her on an adventure. Willow blows dandelions in the meadows, shakes apples from the tree and plays with the leaf children. Then its time for George to go home

Timothy ★★★★★

The illustrations are so atmospheric that my daughter gasped when the wind actually moved the paper boats in the story. It’s become our new bedtime favorite.

Harper Y. ★★★★★

We picked this up for a bedtime story and the wind-blowing scene is so beautifully written it actually made my little one try to blow the pages. The soft watercolor illustrations really bring the leaf boats to life. A charming read that sparks imagination.

Julian ★★★★★

My 4-year-old was completely mesmerized by the soft, poetic language about the wind moving the boats. The way it describes leaves floating and sails racing made her ask to read it three times before bed.
