Bookroo's summary

Kate faces a wild wind that wreaks havoc on a hilltop home. Armed with a wheelbarrow of young trees, she embarks on a mission to calm the chaos and bring peace. Can her green plan protect the house and transform the landscape? Discover how one girl's simple act of planting trees can change everything, highlighting the vital role of nature in our lives. This lyrical tale invites readers to explore the power of environmental care and the beauty of small, impactful actions.

From the publisher

A wild wind blows on the tippy-top of a steep hill, turning everything upside down for the man who lives there. Luckily, Kate comes up with a plan to tame the wind. With an old wheelbarrow full of young trees, she journeys up the steep hill to add a little green to the man’s life, and to protect the house from the howling wind. From award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon and whimsical illustrator Lee White comes a delightfully simple, lyrical story about the important role trees play in our lives, and caring for the world in which we live.
