Hear the Wind Blow

The stages of the Beaufort wind scale, portrayed with precision and also with poetic free verse, style, and imagination. It will stretch readers’ imaginations as we see the wind pick up from a kiss of air, to a gentle breeze that shivers the shifting grasses, to a roiling hurricane that makes tree roots shudder.

    - Kirkus Reviews starred review

  • Reassuring and informative, this engaging STEM offering serves as a solid introduction to that mysterious, invisible force called wind (and comes just in time for spring).

    - Booklist

  • An age-appropriate meteorological foray.

    - Publishers Weekly

  • The full-bleed illustrations are lovely, with flowing movement and a color palette that ranges from pinks and purples for sunrise, to a sunny blue-sky day, to the dark of a hurricane.
