From Antarcticas biting katabatic gusts to Hawaiis sweetsmelling moani, discover fourteen winds of the world through poetry, scientific facts, and transporting illustrations.Lift your face to the breezelet it bathe your cheekssift through your hairtease your fingertips.In a dynamic collection of poems, Melanie Crowder and Megan Benedict explore the worlds winds, from Italys swaggering maestro to Libyas fierce ghibli to Canadas howling squamish. The poetic styles used reflect the characteristics and sometimes the location of each wind: Japans blustery oroshi is celebrated in haiku, for example, while the poem about Britains helm uses iambs in a nod toward the iambic pentameter of English sonnets. Sidebars relay the science behind how each wind forms, where it blows, and the weather systems it heralds, and the airy art from awardwinning illustrator Khoa Le is overlaid with scientifically accurate wind lines that show the path of each gust. More meteorological details can be found in the back matter, which includes explorations of the origin of wind and how winds are named, a world map pinning the winds locations, a glossary, and books for further reading.
