Two kids go on an adventure into the past and around the world, without explanation. On their journey they see how wind has been used and what it has been called in different places through the years. It is an educational book and is encouraging environmental responsibility. It just has a big hole in the story.

I wrote this, so...I'm a little bias. I learned from the process of writing this book that you're never too old to read and learn from childrens' books. Try one!

Brilliant story told by a very talented young author. I hope to see more from her soon!
