description: A story about the extraordinary path of the wind in its many guises across the world as witnessed by a migrating swift.Cassi watches a little swift dive and swoop in the still air. In the rising sun the world seems to be holding its breath. Then a small breeze stirs the leaves in the trees and as the wind grows bolder a whiff of danger sends small creatures running for cover. Across the ocean the wind awakes with a fury whipping the waves and cresting each one with wild white horses. And further on around the still eye of a hurricane clouds are carved into a great spiral howling with stormy power. All this is witnessed by the swift as it finally comes to nest on the other side of the world where the great wind has abated. Follow the amazing path of a swift in Kate Greenaway Awardwinning illustrator Grahame Baker-Smith's follow-up to The Rhythm of the Rain.
