A mouse escapes the clutches of a cat by riding on a wind-blown leaf.

Colorful and oddly shaped scraps of paper blow in the wind. One by one, they take shape, transforming into animals--each one with its own story to tell.

A mouse and its mother experience the delights of nature on a windy spring day.

"A blind child asks each he encounters--a dog, wolf, elephant, mountain, bird, stream, tree--about the color of the wind. Each responds differently, with a shape, color, smell, texture, or idea. Each page displays a visual and tactile palette of cut-outs,textures, colors. It is a sensory experience that makes the invisible experiential, ending with the wind, as the pages fly"--

Ten years after surviving the tornado that killed his parents, Vane Weston, now seventeen, has no memory of that fateful day but dreams of a beautiful girl who, he now learns, is not only real, she is his guardian sylph, who harnesses the power of the wind.
