I was charmed by this illustrated children's book much like I was with Birdsall's junior novels.

I loved the art in this book and I found the premise very lyrical. I couldn't help being a little bored while reading it though, it's quite a bit redundant. My kid may be too old for this stuff, however if the child was much younger, the lesson about sibling love could be lost on them ...

There are lots of books out there about a pesty younger sibling and the older child learning to appreciate them, but apparently there is room for another. Very sweet story about a brother and sister and nicely illustrated too!

LOVED the whimsical illustrations - will have to check out more by Matt Phelan.
Fantastic story about the highs and lows of the relationship between a brother & sister.

Liked the idea of the children getting swept away by the wind but the identical response of all the things they encountered became monotonous. Lovely illustrations convey being blown by the wind.

Who hasn't wished their little brother would just go away?

A very sweet story that follows begrudging big sister, Flora, as elements of nature and nature itself try to take her pesky little brother, Crispin (what a precious name!), off her hands. The illustrations sells this book; you really do feel swept away with the adorable siblings as Flora realizes that even though Crispin annoys her sometimes, she wouldn't trade him for anything.

Lovely brother and sister story. I like the repetition and the flow of the illustrations.
