Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.

I Hear the Wind
As I write this, it is a blustery day in November. It feels like Winter, but the calendar says it is still Fall. That's the feeling one gets by reading this book, written and illustrated by Greg Budig. Here the cold Fall (almost Winter) wind is seen through the eyes and imagination of a child as it whistles past the house at night, making a variety of sights and sounds. The wind is everywhere, and you will see and feel it through the words and pictures of this story.
