K-Gr 3—What happens when the wind blows? This picture book demonstrates the significance of wind power. The story begins with a scene depicting summertime on the beach, where children run and play, "balloons escape," and "balls roll" and then transitions to the ocean, where a sailboat wends its way among powerful wind turbines. A maintenance worker climbs the tall ladder of a turbine, while the simple text explains that "magnetic forces use electrons as energy sources." The writing may be a bit challenging for some readers, but they'll learn that windmills power electricity throughout the United States, lighting up and heating homes, allowing trains and smart cars to run, and fueling lighthouses for safety at sea. Attractive watercolors depict the effects of wind power through accessible images that will resonate with readers, such as an image of the United States lit up, as seen from outer space. VERDICT This clear and fun explanation begs for storytime reading and will spark discussion. An enlightening, fresh effort.—Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA
