(2) K-3 Illustrated by Lee White. Young Kate figures out a solution to gale-force winds surrounding a man's house: plant trees. Years pass, and the man and Kate, both older, enjoy a picnic on his now-sheltered lawn. White's mixed-media illustrations employ a soft palette, ceding the focus to perpetual motion and commotion. Scanlon's poetic text has enough unpredictability to lend interest and energy. A note about the importance of trees is appended.
