This is a really beautiful book.

I loved the writing style and the different poems in the book, they are a really nice mix.

There is also a few handy pages at the end on wind speeds and more of a scientific description of the types of wind speeds from breeze, gales, blizzard and hurricanes too.

I loved the illustrations used in the book too - they are really lovely.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended - a lovely addition to any bookcase

Who can make a drawing of the wind? What are some of the names we call the wind? How do we define the speeds and characteristics of wind? This book does a fine job of making nonfiction learning a delightful entertainment!
The illustrations by Josee Bisaillon are simple, stylized, imaginative, colorful, and fun.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, hospital, or your local public library!

This book is a great way to teach children about the weather.
This is a non-fiction - fiction book told as a poem that teaches kids about what is wind, and what are tornados, extra.
I loved the writing style and whimsical illustrations

Baru banget belajar ttg STEAM and STEM method for kids dan ketemu buku ini. Wah, suka banget! 💕

Buku karangan Debra Kempf ini mengajak si kecil menyelami tentang sains dibalik Angin. Bahasanya mudah dimengerti, ilustrasi apik, dan kalimatnya berima indah. Contohnya,

[ Wind is a dance.. --- a dance of air
Warm air leaps high, cool air bows low
Day by day, fast or slow, wind changes ]

Enak banget kan dibacanyaa? Berima.

Selain itu, buku ini ga cuma berupa kumpulan kalimat indah tapi juga ada penjelasan ilmiahnya. Jadi cocok banget buat menjawab rasa penasaran si kecil tentang angin. Penjelasan ilmiahnya pun beneran menggandeng expert, loh. Pada halaman akhir, ada infografis lebih lengkap tentang angin yang bisa dibaca orang dewasa.

Menurutku buku #WindisDance ini jenius! STEAMnya dapet banget. Pembahasannya ilmiah tapi tetap membangkitkan sense of art.

Orangtua mana coba yg bisa kepikiran menjelaskan bahwa angin adalah tarian? Deffo parents who have read this book 😁 Ketika membaca ini pasti si kecil bakalan praktekin dan coba-coba bikin angin dengan apa yang dia bisa.

Kalau kalian cari buku STEAM, udah jelas Wind is Dance harus kalian miliki.

Definitely gonna read this for my toddler!

What a beautiful book with easily accessible descriptions and metaphors. The brilliance of the writing allows kids to make connections between what they know and can visualize and the provided scientific definitions and facts. I can easily see this being used in classrooms for both science and Language Arts, even with older students.

This was such a beautiful book that my four kids and I really enjoyed together at bedtime. It was wonderfully written, and the illustrations were so fun! My kids loved it.
