What's Weather's Bet About

Publisher Summary

*Awe-inspiring artwork as powerful as any force of nature.–Kirkus Reviews (starred review)From Caldecott Medalist Ed Young comes a picture book retelling of Aesop’s fable The Wind and the Sun. Once upon the sky, there were three powers–the Wind, the Rain, and the Sun–each claiming to be the mightier than the others. One day, the powers came upon a shepherd girl fast asleep upon a hill, so they made a bet to see who could make her take her cap off. Who will be the strongest of them all? Rendered in exquisite mixed-media collage, Caldecott Medalist Ed Young’s gorgeous and deeply poignant retelling of the well-known Aesop’s fable The Wind and the Sun, proves that sometimes gentle persuasion and kindness are the best virtues of all. Praise for The Weather’s Bet Lyrical and profound. –School Library Journal A good classroom readaloud.–Publishers Weekly
