Step outside with Gilberto and meet his very best, and most unpredictable, friend. Who is it? The wind!
Sometimes the wind is gentle and helpful. It happily sails Gilberto's toy boats across the water and catches ripe apples falling from the trees. Other times, the wind is wild and bossy. It snatches his kite, blows dirt around, and even turns his umbrella completely inside out!
Through all of its moods, Gilberto learns to understand and respect his invisible playmate. This gentle story captures the wonder of stepping outdoors and feeling the breeze on your face. Get ready to explore the changing weather and see how a simple gust of air can turn an ordinary day into an exciting adventure.
