    About Kate, Who Tamed The Wind

    Award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon presents a young, rhythmic read-aloud about a girl who solves a windy problem with an environmentally sound solution: planting trees.

    A wild wind blows on the tippy-top of a steep hill, turning everything upside down for the man who lives there. Luckily, Kate comes up with a plan to tame the wind. With an old wheelbarrow full of young trees, she journeys up the steep hill to add a little green to the man’s life, and to protect the house from the howling wind. From award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon and whimsical illustrator Lee White comes a delightfully simple, lyrical story about the important role trees play in our lives, and caring for the world in which we live.

    Praise for Bob, Not Bob by Liz Garton Scanlon:
    “This is read-aloud gold!” —Publishers Weekly, Starred

    Praise for All the World by Liz Garton Scanlon:
    “A sumptuous and openhearted poem . . . (that) expresses the philosophy early readers most need to hear: there’s humanity everywhere.” —The New York Times
