Read and find out about the wind–what causes it, how it can be used to help us, and how it affects the weather–in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.
Air is always moving. We can’t see air moving, though we can watch it push clouds across the sky, or shake the leaves of a tree. We call moving air the wind.
