“Cupping her hands together, Willow blew at Georges boats. A few leaves floated gently off the tree. She blew again. This time a lively blast tugged at the sails and the boats were off, racing each other across the blue.”

George wants to play with his boats, but theres no breeze to make them sail. Then he meets Willow, one of the lively wind children, who asks George to join her on an adventure. Willow blows dandelions in the meadows, shakes apples from the tree and plays with the leaf children. Then its time for George to go home

REVIEW

“This beautiful picture book is perfect for the end of summer. George is playing with his toy boat wishing for wind when a wind sprite appears. After putting wind into George’s sails they set off on an adventure and meet other nature fairy folk. George picks apples and meets the Rosehip children then swirls about with the leaf children, finally racing home on two cloud horses.

Sibylle von Olfers has an eye for beauty in nature, the illustrations are very attractive to look at and take you to a magical world of nature, inhabited by sprites and fairies who always look after you and get you home in time for tea! A gentle and reassuring read that makes a lovely bedtime story”. -Hilary
