Ed's bad mood escalates from a tiny whirlwind into something sentient that "swept over him in a raging storm and stuck." The digital art, showing Ed sweeping leaves into piles that grow exponentially and dominate his town, are particularly evocative of a mind overwhelmed. Eventually, a new wind from another direction changes the situation--and Ed's mood. Useful for exploring with readers who struggle to manage intense emotions.

A reassuring poem about waning daylight hours and the ascendancy of night, illustrated with a simplicity that homes in on children's wonder. A fox, a cat, and more wait for Max to open the Night Box ("WHOOSH! Day slips inside as Night sweeps out"). "And when Night falls asleep...", Max releases Day into the dawn. The quotidian ritual is expressed pleasingly in this quiet bedtime book.
