Among the loveliest of picture books ever:
"Where does the wind go?" When a little boy asks this question at the end of a happy day, his mother explains that the wind does not stop - it blows away to make the trees dance somewhere else. Reassuringly, she tells him that nothing ever ends, it simply begins in another place or in another way. Rain goes back into the clouds to create new storms, waves fold back upon the sea to become new waves, and the day moves on to make way for the night, bringing the darkness and stars for the little boy to dream in.
Says one parent: The prose is so soothing and imaginative it actually lulled my child to sleep.
It's called When the Wind Stops, by Charlotte Zolotow, illustrated by Stefano Vitale. Find it here: http://astore.amazon.com/httpwwwacorna-20/detail/0064434729
Equally enriching:
This lovely book illuminates all the possibilities a day offers—the opportunities and chances that won’t ever come again . . . timeless but appealing to all ages, from one to one hundred.
