""Wind, stop blowing!"" shouts Benjamin Snooks. Until one day the wind answers back in this playful and light-hearted story about flexibility and accepting change.

Benjamin Snooks does not simply dislike the wind. He despises and detests it. From the time he was a baby and sand blew in his face, he decided that the wind was nothing but trouble: it makes a mess of things, disturbs his life, and upsets his plans. But when Benjamin Snooks tries to stop the wind from blowing-or at least escape it-he discovers that making peace with it is a wiser path.

Wind, Stop Blowing! reveals the problems we create when we cling too tightly to our expectations of how things ought to be. It gently invites children to consider better ways to respond to life's small setbacks and changes.
