Description
Summary:"Sometimes, in a child's life, the winds come. Sometimes, there are hard times. Acclaimed children's writer and storyteller Jan Andrews has always believed that these are the times children need stories the most. In her last-ever picture book, When the Wind Came, Jan has written a spare, beautiful story of hope, resilience and Getting Through -- but it's also a child's story, rich in drama and light with dish soap bubbles and shared family laughter. With so many natural and human-caused disasters affecting children every day, this book brings hope in spite of loss. It is a reminder to any child going through a hard time that there will be joy and laughter even in the darkest moments."--
