The wind is wild

Cassie watches a swift bird dive and swoop in the still air. As the sun rises, the world seems to hold its breath. Then a gentle breeze stirs the leaves, and as the wind picks up, a whiff of danger sends tiny creatures scrambling for cover. Across the ocean, the winds wake with fury, whipping the waves and crowning each with wild white horses. Farther out, around the still eye of the hurricane, the clouds sculpt into a great whirl, howling with the force of a storm. All this witnesses a swift bird finally reaching its nest on the other side of the world, where the ferocious winds have subsided. Follow the incredible path of a swift bird in the sequel to *The Rhythm of Rain* by award-winning illustrator Graham Baker-Smith and Kate Greenaway.
