Illus. in full color."Mirandy is sure she'll win the cake walk if she can catch Brother Wind for her partner, but he eludes all the tricks her friends advise. This gets a high score for plot, pace, and characterization. Mirandy sparkles with energy and determination. Multi-hued watercolors fill the pages with patterned ferment. A treat to pass on to new generations."--(starred) Bulletin, Center for Children's Books. Cassette running time: 20 min.

Review: Mirandy and Brother Wind by Patricia McKissack, 1988. Caldecott Honor Book. This is a beautiful fictional book about a young girl and her journey to catch brother wind. It has good character development and a plot twist at the end.
Blurb: This would be a greta read aloud book, it has opportunities to voice different characters and for children to make predictions.
Quote: “Them chillun' is dancing with the Wind!“
