Beautiful illustrations and a conversation between parent and child about where the sun goes when it sets, where the wind goes when it stops blowing, where the rain goes when the storm is over... "Nothing ends," the mother tells the child. "It begins in another place or in a different way."

One of, if not my favorite book, that was read to me when I was a boy. It's simple narrative answers those questions all children ask without knowing the deeper questions they are really asking. The colorful illustrations flow like they are in the wind, the wind that is blowing somewhere else when it stops here. It captures a joyfulness and curiosity that should be developed in every child. For sure, I will read this to my own children one day.

Beautiful illustrations on wood canvas add to the very natural feel of this book. Wonderful as a bedtime story. Great to help discussion on the continuity of life; the end of one thing is the beginning of another.

Emma, my 8 year old, read this to me. The story was simple enough but the art by Stefano Vitale was so beautiful that we decided to buy two copies of this book. One to read and keep in our personal library and one to cut up and frame to hang the pictures in Emma's room. Emma is very artistic and she spent a lot of time taking in all the details of the illustrations.
