| Summary |
One day, the Wind, the Rain, and the Sun were having an argument about who was the strongest, when a girl walked past them, wrapped in a winter coat. The Wind claims he is the strongest and blows a powerful gust of wind, the Rain claims he's the strongest and tries to wash the girl's coat away. But it's the Sun who shines on her with warmth and love that gets her to take her coat off. Critically acclaimed artist Ed Young has created a gorgeous and deeply poignant retelling of the well-known Aesop's fable The Wind and the Sun, that teaches readers that sometimes gentle persuasion and kindness are the best virtues of all. Collage illustrations include symbols based on seal characters of Chinese pictograms. |
