| The North Wind blew with all his might and is sure that he is powerful enough to blow the cloak from the shoulders of a passing horseman. But will his furious strength be a match for the gentle, warming influence of the Sun? This picture book comes with a message that gentle persuasion is always more successful than aggressive coercion. | | |
