A very sweet story that follows begrudging big sister, Flora, as elements of nature and nature itself try to take her pesky little brother, Crispin (what a precious name!), off her hands. The illustrations sells this book; you really do feel swept away with the adorable siblings as Flora realizes that even though Crispin annoys her sometimes, she wouldn't trade him for anything.

Can I frame these illustrations and hang them around my house?

Beautiful art! Loved the windy adventure that Flora and Crispin go on. Sometimes all siblings want to get away from each other, but in the end Flora makes the right choice and takes her brother home.
May was a bit bored with the repetition, but she enjoyed that there were a lot of characters & she loved the beautiful illustrations!

This is a story of a big sister who is tired of her pesky little brother. But when he blows away because he doesn't have heavy duty red books to hold him down, Flora goes after him and won't let anyone take him from her. It's a sweet story but I think I liked the illustrations even more than the story.

Very cute. I thought this would be just a nice seasonal book but it ended up being about a sister realizing how much she would miss her brother if he got taken by the wind.
