Most of us can relate to having tantrums when we don’t get our way, especially when we are beyond tired. In this book, two nice little children help weary Winter Wind find a nice little cave to have a nice little rest instead of tormenting everyone.

Inspired by a century-old Lithuania tale, “The Wind Who Got Angry” and translated from Yiddish to English, extraordinary paper cut illustrations provide endless opportunities for browsing and being amazed. The use of color, shapes and placement create a visual wonderland.

Youngsters of all ages will enjoy knowing they are in good company when it comes to being overtired.
