Amazon Description
On a pleasant day in a quiet town, a strong gust of wind causes quite a stir. As the townspeople lament the whirling wedding cakes, airborne alarm clocks, and bouncing bananas, one little boy greets this wonderful wind and gets a taste of how exciting the world can be. Full color.One Potato Review
As much as any children’s author and illustrator working today, Karas has a gift for believably relating the very little (kids) and the very big (a wind storm here) while finally diminishing neither. “My name is Bernard!” yells a boy to a gale that needed to pass through him as it did through long-ago kings and queens and dinosaurs and Viking’s sails and the Great Wall of China. This in the middle of a ho-hum day that started like any other. Magical.
