The sounds of the wind surround them--whoosh, rustle, bang, flap-flap-flap. The wind brings sensation too. Cousins Kamali and Josiah feel their scarves dancing around their necks and the force of the wind pushing them along. They learn that, together, they can stand stronger and find their way through any weather. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWind Whirls: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngages young children in reflecting on the natural world and togetherness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes discussion ideas and activities to help children learn more about nature and their own senses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows children that they can connect with nature and its lessons, no matter where they live\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights children in diverse urban environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book is part of the \u003ci\u003eOutside Our Window Board Books\u003c\/i\u003e series, which encourages children--especially those in urban environments--to explore, protect, and delight in nature.
