Synopsis

In this engaging retelling of Aesop's classic fable, the North Wind and the Sun compete to make a traveller remove his coat. The North Wind's blustery force only causes the traveller to cling tighter to his garment. In contrast, the Sun's gentle warmth persuades the traveller to shed his coat willingly. This beautifully illustrated story highlights the power of kindness and persuasion over force, making it an ideal read for developing readers aged 9 to 13.
