When I find books that can be “themed” I enjoy writing about them. Even though both of these books were quick reads, they work extremely well with each other by being themed as Wind Books. They work for multiple ages, allowing both books to grow with your child.
Wind Watchers by Micha Archer was read via an online reader copy and is due March 2025. This will give me time to read it again, not so much because it was the best book ever, but it is not something I felt I could get all at once. It is simple enough, but honestly, I was not in the right mood for (as the publisher’s description said) “Children have fun experiencing the wind’s ever-changing nature throughout all the seasons of the year.” However, I did enjoy it, but it was not “WOWING” me. Maybe it was too easy for my adult brain and my kid brain probably was thinking about food. The story flows like the wind: each season is different and how the children celebrate the wind, its power and the things it and they can do. The illustrations are a fun combination of colors that are bold but not hard. Things are very bright, a bit watercolor-cartoonish and even the dark has light to it. There is a realistic-abstractness to things. You know that is a child, but they are dreamlike. 
Why Does the Wind Blow?: Weather with the Very Hungry Caterpillar based on Eric Carle’s classic Very Hungry Caterpillar. I am not sure if the illustrations are from his exact works, or if someone was doing them in the style of Carle, but either way it is difficult to see any real differences. This familiar look shows your child, in a simpler format, how wind works. I read this board book via an online reader and it only had 7 pages (due mid-February 2025). But actually a lot was packed in those few pages. The concept is more scientific and less story based unlike the other title which had facts, but was more poetic and fictional, yet still fun. And if you’re like me, you can adapt the pages to the age, interest, and attention span of the child (how many clouds? Does this page have a sun? What color is the sun? Can you find the caterpillar?)
