Zoe's Windy Day is part of a series that includes Zoe's Windy Day, Zoe's Sunny Day and Zoe's Rainy Day. Zoe is going for an outing on a windy day; she and her father go for a walk. They watch the leaves blow down the street, and they feed squirrels in the park. Her cheeks become very rosy walking against the wind on the way home. Then she and her father sit snug and cozy inside, sipping hot chocolate after a windy day of exciting activity.

Famous for her plasticine illustrations, Canadian author and illustrator Barbara Reid is world renowned. Reid has won just about every Canadian award for children's authors or illustrators. She won the Governor General's Literary Award for Children's Illustration for The Party and this book was nominated for 7 awards.

Dusting off shelves and stopping to look at these beautiful board books. Pictures worth thousands of words.

My son got this book free from our public library as a gift. It's so simple, perfect for babies. Lots of details in the pictures; my 1 year old points out everything and then we talk about it. I feel like he is learning so much and growing a love for books at the same time. We just spent 1 hour together reading this book over and over again. It was a very special time.
