The Windman (part 6)

Michael watched and he waited, he waited some more and then Whoooosh! Sure enough the Windman came! Whoooosh! He came down from the sky, right through the trees! Whoooosh! And there he was at the top of the hole, looking down at Michael!

"What can I do for you?" he asked.

"I'm stuck in this hole! I can't get out and my mother and father will be very worried! Take me home!"

"Okay! Hold on!" the Windman told him, and Whoooosh! He started to blow. He blew and he blew and Whoooosh! He flew down inside the hole. He got underneath Michael and lifted him up. He lifted him up right out of the hole, up into the air, through the trees even, up into the sky! Whoooosh! And he blew Michael all the way back to his house and put him down safe on the back yard grass just as soft as anything.

"Thanks Windman!"

"Anytime! If you ever need any help again, just call my song and I'll come and help you!"

Then the Windman flew up into the air! Whoooosh! He blew and he blew and then Whoooosh! He flew away. And ever after that Michael and the Windman were very best friends, and if Michael ever needed any help he just called for the Windman. And the Windman always came.

This story is the first in a collection of seven stories and nine songs with numerous black and white pen and ink illustrations throughout. Michael and Megan meet the Windman and find out how the Four Seasons first arrived in town. They have many adventures with Fall in particular as he steals Summer's socks, makes a chestnut pie for his friend the White Squirrel, and plays a Halloween trick on Winter. Many of the stories can be acted out and continued by the reader in their everyday life. Although this book is set in Toronto, it can be adapted to fit any North American urban centre.
