Description

A touching story of friendship, told and illustrated with warmth and empathy.

The boy next door loves to lick the wind. “You should try it,” says his mum. “All the best winds are at the beach.”

And so begins an amazing afternoon by the sea for two boys. One doesn’t always speak with words and likes throwing stones – the other likes to collect shells and make sandcastles. But the sea works its magic and by the end of the day the boys discover they both love to lick the wind – together.

The Boy Who Loves to Lick the Wind is a beautiful tale of unlikely friendship, capturing the joy of shared discovery and connection.
