(2) K-3 Exhilarated by the wind blowing in from the sea, Jim spreads his arms and shouts, "All this is mine!" The wind, however, becomes a gale; sirens sound; and Jim and his mother run to safety at Grandma's house up the hill. And next morning, looking out over a quiet sea, Jim whispers to the wind, "All this is yours." Nature's power, suggested in the simple, lyrical words describing the storm, is celebrated in all its beauty in the mixed media art.
