An throwback to another childhood book about the contest between the sun and wind. There was a man who wondered if the wind was stronger than the sun so both had a competition and it was found that the un was more powerful. How?

The challenge was to incite the man to remove a shawl he had on. With the and,he pulled it tighter but with the sun, he had no choice but to remove it!!

This story is simple and has a happy ending. Quite standard. Charming illustrations.

This story is very simple, but warmhearted. The relationship between parents and the daughter is my favorite part.
