Bookroo's summary
As the day ends, a curious boy asks his mother where the wind goes. She reveals the secret of life's endless cycle: nothing truly ends, it transforms. From wind to waves, day to night, each transition holds a new beginning. This gentle exploration reassures and inspires, inviting readers to ponder the mysteries of nature and the continuity of life. Will the boy find comfort in these eternal rhythms?
From the publisher
At the end of a happy day, a little boy asks, “Why does the day have to end?” His mother points to the pale sliver of moon high in the darkening sky and tells him that the day must end so the night can begin. “But where does the sun go when the day ends?” the little boy asks. “The day doesn’t end, “ explains his mother, “it begins somewhere else.”
