This story follows the journey of a blind child asking different people and things what color the wind is. They all give varying answers and by the end the reader realizes that everyone’s interpretation is different and that in the end we are all right. Everyone knows equally much about the color of the wind; the answer lies within the person answering the question. This is by far one of the coolest books I have ever read from the colorful and lively illustrations to the tactile element of the pages. I love this book because interpretation of the meaning and the message could be so many different things and its engaging and interactive for all ages. ( )

As the little giant goes around the world asking different people, things, and animals about the color of the wind, the reader realizes that the wind is not a specific color. The wind is the color that you want it to be based on the world around you. This story shows how everyone experiences and interprets the world in a different way. ( )

In this book, a blind boy wants to know what color the wind is. He gets a different answer from everyone he asks. I read this book to my little sister. She is 5 years old. I asked her at the end, " So Hayden, What color is the wind?" She replied, "every color!" Her answer surprised me because in the beginning of the book she said the wind was clear. This book changed her whole perspective of the wind and it took me by surprise. I think the wind is the color of what you feel. The wind may be a dark blue if you are feeling sad. it may be a vibrant yellow on a beautiful day but it has no true color. My little sister now thinks that it is every color. ( )

Everyone experiences the world differently and with different senses. This book does an astonishing job at portray just that; everyone experiences the wind differently. Not everyone can experience what the wind looks like or sounds like, we all interpret it in a different way. This book uses language that appeals to all senses to highlight the diversity in which we experience things. Students can use this as a model for incorporating sensory language into their writing.

Filled with texture, this book entices the senses as blind giant searches for the answer to the question "what color is the wind?". The young giant asks everyone and everything, from animals to mountains and water, his question. Though there is no true answer to the question, the reader discovers the wind is the color that you experience it to be through the world around you. I love the tactile appeal of the book as it engages the reader to touch every page for a very sensual experience, much like that of the wind. ( )
