Rating: - Earth's cycles explored and celebrated
I can't say enough about this beautiful book. In fact, if I sound like I'm gushing, it's only because I'm completely in love with it. Zolotow's prose is lovely and lyrical, and Vitale's illustrations are gorgeous--dynamic and colorful, with enormous attention to detail, whimsical, and engaging; the use of paint on wood makes them all the more unique and reinforces the nature themes of the story. My two and a half year old son thoroughly enjoys looking at the many facets of each illustration. ... Read More

"When the Wind Stops" has a very simple beginning. After a day in which the great bright yellow sun has been shining all day the sun is getting ready to sink beneath the horizon.

Rating: - A Beautiful book about the continuing nature of life . . .
I found this to be a beautifully written & illustrated book about the renewal of each day. The story begins with a little boy sad to see the day end and his mother explaining to him that the day ends so night can begin. . . The prose is soothing and imaginative . . . the message is about how they day can end for you, but it begins again in another place for someone else. . . it seems to me to be a gentle way of talking about letting go. . . letting go of the day, of the season, of the wind, of things, ...

Rating: - A Story That Clears the Fog on Difficult Concepts
In easy language with good illustrations, this book will help children to understand why the day has to end, where the wind goes when it stops, where the waves go when they break on the sand, where does the rain go, etc.
The story flows like a poem, yet offers insight into complex concpets, and demonstrates life's eternal evolution and motion.
Rating: - Inspiring story of the circle of life!
This is a soothing, inspiring book that illustrates the truth and meaning of the eternal circle of life. It is a comfort book, and a spiritual revelation. A must for Pagan parents, and all parents. The illustrations are deep and beautiful.
