    “Book Descriptions: This lyrical and extremely timely picture book illuminates the many different immigrants who have made their homes in North America through the centuries.

    Long ago a strong wind blew. It blew people, like seeds, to a new land.

    The wind blew in a girl and her clan, where herds of mammoths still wandered the frozen tundra. It later blew a boy and his family across frigid waters, and they spread across the new land. Over time, the wind continued to disperse newcomers from all directions. It blew in men who hoped to find gold, and slave ships, and immigrant families. And so it continued, for generations and generations. Here is a moving and tender picture book that beautifully examines centuries of North American history and its immigrants.”
