When The Wind Stops

A little boy asks his mother where the wind goes when it stops, and together they trace how endings in nature — rain, waves, day — are really just beginnings somewhere else.

For the kid who asks the questions grown-ups can't quite answer, this book offers the kind of gentle explanation that makes the whole world feel safe.

• Feelings & empathy: How does it feel to know that day always comes back after night?
