Breath of wind

Floating in the sky in her hot-air balloon, Aya observes the aerial ballet of little swifts as they dive and soar through the air. On their long migration to the other side of the world, where young Kûn eagerly awaits them, the swifts witness the forces of the wind in all its majesty. It shapes landscapes, makes tree leaves dance and awakens with fury, whipping ocean waves and creating a spiral of hurricane clouds that burst with power.

From arid deserts to vast ocean expanses, this superbly illustrated album traces the extraordinary journey of swifts carried by the wind, through the eyes of children thousands of kilometers apart.
