Description
A gorgeous, moving allegory about a girl forever on the move at her mother’s whim, spontaneous and free. Yet when Wind Child makes her first real friend, a human girl, she no longer wants to live such a rootless existence.
With lush illustrations by world-renowned Brazilian artist Rogerio Coelho, this thoughtful and thought-provoking story explores the importance of friendship and the need to protect our children without shielding them from the everyday joys of life.
A tale both universal and unique, for readers of The Invisible Boy and The Adventures of Beekle – and for collectors of sumptuously-illustrated picture books no matter one’s age.
