Book Reviews
Carolyn Dorwin, Early Childhood Caregiver, USA writes: ‘I Wonder where the Wind goes’ is a delightful celebration of imagination and curiosity. — Moshtael’s colourful, expressive illustrations perfectly complement each piece, bringing every page to life. This book is a warm invitation to children and their caregivers to pause, see the world anew, and relish the magic of words and language.
Primary School Teacher, Scotland: If you want to inspire children to read poetry and encourage them to write their own poems, then this is the book for you. Older children have enjoyed spotting the author's literary techniques and use of description, which has really helped them uplevel their own work.
