Özet
When Starboy notices the wind carrying the sweet scent of his mother’s favorite flower, he asks the Southwind where she has been. So many places, Southwind says, and happily begins to recount all the wondrous places she wafted through on her long journey north before drifting into a valley in the land of Starboy’s people. By the time Southwind finishes her tale, Starboy has just enough time to pick some flowers for his mom, give thanks to Mother Earth and the wind, and set off for home with dreams of traveling to all the places the wind has blown.
Violet Duncan’s vivid text and Steph Littlebird’s luminous art beautifully capture the exuberant spirit of the wind and remind us that we are all connected.

“As Starboy revels in the ‘warm wind blowing in from the south’ carrying the scent of his mom’s favorite flower, he asks the breeze to share stories of its journeys. Southwind obliges, quietly describing travels that began at dawn with Coyote in ‘the soft desert sand’ and then took the wind north through foothills, past the Desert People and through rocky canyons. . . . Finally, Southwind drifted to Starboy, who lives among the Nêhiyaw, or Cree. . . . Littlebird’s bright digital illustrations portray Starboy as a buoyant and animated brown-skinned boy with tousled braids and Southwind as a calm, elderly presence with tan skin, shown in profile. Coils of moving air create cascades of hair around Southwind’s face that dance across geographically specific landscapes. An overwhelming sense of gratitude and underlying curiosity pervade Duncan’s text, conveying a profound respect for the interconnectivity of Indigenous lands and people. A peaceful reminder that nature links us all.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A child enters into conversation with the wind in this freewheeling tale from Plains Cree and Taino author Duncan (Buffalo Dreamer) and illustrator Littlebird (The Summer of the Bone Horses), an enrolled member of Oregon’s Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. When Indigenous child Starboy smells the scent of his mother’s favorite purple flower on the breeze one morning, he asks the Southwind where she has been, and she spins him a story. As the sun rises, then sets, she travels through ‘the soft desert sand with clever Coyote’ . . . to the land of the Dakota, who are having an annual powwow that celebrates the people’s connection to Mother Earth. Uplifting, airy sentences capture and hold readers’ attention as the wind chats with the child, races and stops with wild horses, and ‘whirl[s] with the dancers as they mov[e] to the beat of the drum.’ Hand sketched and digitally finished illustrations in black-outlined earth tones add to this contagiously joyful celebration of the natural world.” —Publishers Weekly
