The Wind Blew by Pat Hutchins

In The Wind Blew, Pat Hutchins turns a windy day into a lively chain of movement, surprise, and playful storytelling. As the wind sweeps up hats, balloons, scarves, and other objects, children can follow the rhythm of the text and notice how one gust can change everything in its path. The book pairs well with Kodo materials that invite children to explore air, motion, cause and effect, and how lightweight objects move, tumble, lift, and travel. It offers educators a joyful way to connect children’s imaginative play with their observations of wind and weather. Appropriate for children ages 4+.
