Air is always moving. We can't see air moving, though we can watch it push clouds across the sky, or shake the leaves of a tree. We call moving air the wind. In this enlarged edition, find out about the wind - what causes it, how it can be used to help us, and how it affects the weather.
Arthur Dorros shows you how to make your own weather vane, and in simple terms, with playful illustrations, he explains just what makes the wind that blows all around us.
Arthur Dorros is the author of many books for children, several of which he has also illustrated. His Ant Cities, a Reading Rainbow review book, and Feel the Wind were named Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children by the National Science Teachers Association/Children's Book Council. A Tree is Growing was named an Orbis Pictus Honor Book. Mr. Dorros lives in Seattle, Washington.
