Award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon presents a young, rhythmic read-aloud about a girl who solves a windy problem with an environmentally sound solution: planting trees.

A wild wind blows on the tippy-top of a steep hill, turning everything upside down for the man who lives there. Luckily, Kate comes up with a plan to tame the wind. With an old wheelbarrow full of young trees, she journeys up the steep hill to add a little green to the man's life, and to protect the house from the howling wind. From award-winning author Liz Garton Scanlon and whimsical illustrator Lee White comes a delightfully simple, lyrical story about the important role trees play in our lives, and caring for the world in which we live.

"The story and illustrations strike just the right notes of lightheartedness, determination, and education—on Earth-friendly materials to boot."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"The lyrical text begs to be read aloud and is perfect for Arbor Day or Earth Day celebrations."—School Library Journal, starred review
