In a whimsical tale, a boy's breath takes on a life of its own, escaping into the world beyond. As it journeys through farms, forests, and seas, the boy embarks on a quest to reclaim it. Will he find his breath when he least expects it, or will it remain elusive forever? This imaginative adventure explores the mysteries of breath and the unexpected paths it can take.

From the publisher

Breath . . . it inspires so many silly sayings.Let me catch my breath.You take my breath away.I need a breath of fresh air.And how did little white flowers come to be known as Baby’s Breath?Breath is a mystery in more ways than one. And this story is all about breath: losing it, trying to find it, even trying to buy it. In the imagination of Paul Briggs, a boy’s breath becomes personified, and it zooms away through farm, forest, and sea, returning only when the boy least expects it.
