I Face the Wind
By Vicki Cobb
The Story
A curious kid heads outside to explore wind firsthand — feeling it push and pull, chasing hats, and figuring out why something you can't see is so easy to feel.
Why It's Special
For the kid who asks a hundred questions about how the world works, this turns one of them into an outdoor experiment.
- Big idea: Science starts with noticing — the world gets more interesting once you stop and ask why.
- Vibes: Curious, hands-on, breezy and playful.
Perfect For Kids Who
- love asking how and why questions
- enjoy hands-on outdoor activities
- are working on early science thinking
- like to test things out for themselves
Ask Your Little Reader
- Science thinking: Why do you think we can feel the wind but not see it?
- Real-life connection: Can you remember a time the wind pushed you or blew your hat off?
- Hands-on exploration: What happens if we take a balloon outside on a windy day?
- Imagination: If you could see the wind, what color or shape do you think it would be?
- Observation: What clues around us — like leaves or flags — show that the wind is blowing?
