Bookroo's summary

Young George longs for wind to sail his boats. When a playful wind child arrives, they embark on a whimsical journey. Together, they stir dandelions, shake apples, and dance with leaves. As their adventure unfolds, George discovers the magic of nature and friendship, ultimately finding his way home on a cloud. Will this enchanting experience change how he sees the world?

From the publisher

A classic nature tale with art nouveau illustrations, now in a mini edition. George is playing with his boats, but there’s no wind to make them sail. Then one of the wind children comes and blows especially for him - and together they embark on a great adventure. The wind child blows dandelions in the meadows, shakes apples from the tree and blows the leaves around and eventually she blows George home on a cloud. From the author of The Story of the Root Children and The Story of the Snow Children, this is another classic children’s story with beautiful art-nouveau illustrations that cultivate a feeling of magic and nostalgia.
