She Persisted meets Be Kind in this reinterpretation of a classic fable, whose timeless message of perseverance and hope will encourage readers to stand up for themselves.She Persisted meets Be Kind in this reinterpretation of a classic fable, whose timeless message of perseverance and hope will encourage readers to stand up for themselves.Who will win the war of trust-the forceful, spiteful, cruel North Windor the gentle, patient, determined Sun?This thought-provoking, gorgeous story portrays the many different definitions of strength, as told through the powerful bond of three sisters. Together they face The North Wind, a mighty wintry gale bent on destroying the sisters' old patchwork coats with his harsh words and powerful blustering. But these gray-haired sisters stand firm, bracing against the hateful Wind and his taunts, facing his negativity with practicality, resilience, grit, and gut. Their coats will not be blown off by force.It isn't until the Sun tries her own methods-generosity, warmth, and waiting-that the sisters make their own decision- it is time to remove their coats. It's the downfall of a bully, the downfall of aggression, the downfall of the Wind.With beautiful collage artwork and author Philip Stead's characteristically nuanced storytelling, this retelling of The North Wind and the Sun demonstrates the importance of persistence, the power of standing up for what you believe in, and the triumph of love over hate.A Bank Street Best Children's Book of the YearA Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
