Flora's Very Windy Day

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Phelan. After little brother Crispin spills Flora's paints, their frazzled mother sends them outside. When an unusually strong wind carries the pair away, Flora resists giving Crispin up to the various (personified) elements and creatures that want him. The sibling dynamic proves to be more tangled than expected in Birdsall's warm text. Phelan's expressive ink, watercolor, and pastel pictures softly illustrate the blustery adventure.
