About this book
A hungry boy resting beneath the trees sees splendid figures in the clouds and wishes he could keep their beauty. Larry's conversation with a speaking breeze opens this collection of children's stories by Julie M. Lippmann. The breeze challenges him to turn wishing into effort, linking his dreams of art with the small duties within his reach. Nature becomes a voice that can answer a child's frustration and encourage a different way of thinking.
Elsewhere, Marjorie waits to have her photograph taken and complains about the people ahead of her. Her mother asks her to look beyond appearances and notice their suffering, patience and goodness. Mysterious voices then offer Marjorie an unexpected excursion. These tales combine imaginative encounters with direct lessons about conduct, making them useful reading for anyone interested in how older children's fiction connects kindness, responsibility and the world of dreams.
