Winds is a collection of poetry by Mary O'Neill about different types of winds and their affect on the weather. Some winds cause the clouds, animals, and even people to be affected.
James Barkley uses watercolor to paint beautiful illustrations of different winds. Each illustration contains movement that the reader can see. Through the illustrations, the winds affect on earth and the weather can be seen.
This book would be a great one to read during a unit over weather for cross-curricular use. It uses poetic rhymes to describe how the wind has its affect on the world around us. The poems explain how the wind affects the weather patterns, people, and animals.
