Focus on the section about wind. Notice that sometimes the wind is gentle (tells stories making the trees laugh) and sometimes it is strong (howls like wolves.) The author is using metaphor to show that wind is changeable and has different effects on its environment. The child in the story learns to respond to those differences, even when they make them feel scared.

Remind your child(ren) that we all feel scared at times. When we do, we can acknowledge how we feel, tell people who care about us, and find ways to focus on being present (see section on mindfulness, above). Sometimes, like the child in the book, it is helpful to change the story. What story do you think the child told to the wind wolves?
