Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2–I'm late! I'm late, but it's not my fault. A young boy enters his classroom, harried and exhausted, because the wind was blowing, creating outrageous-sounding obstacles to his timely arrival at school. He reports a mountain of whisking dandelions that he had to scale, a flag at the post office that flapped so hard its stars fluttered to the sidewalk, and hats from the millinery store sailing out the door. Traffic signs fly, a picket fence is whirled away, chickens and a rooster are blown to the courthouse roof, and the boy is lost in a fog until…the wind whooshes him up into the air and sets him down at the front door of the school. His teacher doesn't believe his story until she hears the wind calling, opens the window, and is lifted out of the classroom. Derby's dazzling language is accompanied by Nguyen's acrylic and charcoal illustrations that carry the action and add to the story's energy. This delightful read-aloud nearly ripples as the wind whooshes and roars, lifting readers into the enchanting tale.–Rebecca Sheridan, Easttown Library & Information Center, Berwyn, PA

I've always lived in Ohio, and my life was pretty quiet until I had my first son. Things became a little noisier with a baby around, and when he was followed by four younger brothers and then a sister, the house became noisier still. Just when I was thinking that life was about to settle down, two foster sons joined us, and later, three foster daughters. They are all grown now, so the house is quiet usually -- until the grandchildren, and now a great-grandchild too, come visit! I figure that after 55 years of marriage and all those children, I have enough story ideas to keep me busy for the rest of my life. I love to hear from readers who like my books. Have fun reading!
