Publisher Annotation: 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 people.

"A collection of . . . stories drawn on the front lines of migration by . . . artist George Butler. For thousands of years humans have moved around the world, to seek a better life, to flee disaster or to escape war. Migration is a fact of life but it is hugely misunderstood . . . Butler introduces us to the people behind the headlines. Drawings made on front lines, in refugee camps and on the move . . . capture stories of leaving home, travelling into the unknown and trying to make a new life. These . . . portraits of migration are a timely reminder of the humanity we all share and our universal need to seek safety and a better life"--OCLC.
