5 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
Illus. in full color."Mirandy is sure she'll win the cake walk if she can catch Brother Wind for her partner, but he eludes all the tricks her friends advise. This gets a high score for plot, pace, and characterization. Mirandy sparkles with energy and determination. Multi-hued watercolors fill the pages with patterned ferment. A treat to pass on to new generations."--(starred) Bulletin, Center for Children's Books. Cassette running time: 20 min.

Review: Mirandy and Brother Wind by Patricia McKissack, 1988. Caldecott Honor Book. This is a beautiful fictional book about a young girl and her journey to catch brother wind. It has good character development and a plot twist at the end.
Blurb: This would be a greta read aloud book, it has opportunities to voice different characters and for children to make predictions.
Quote: “Them chillun' is dancing with the Wind!“
