Why read it?

1 author picked At the Back of the North Wind as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This beautifully written children’s book was very meaningful when my mother read it aloud many years ago. The tale follows a poor boy named Diamond who resides in a chilly hayloft above a horse (also named Diamond). It is written with such tenderness and engaging detail that it can’t help but draw the reader into its pages.

The book follows the child’s adventures following his exciting meeting with the beautiful North Wind. It is a refreshingly different and uplifting kind of children’s literature, and it truly is a breath of fresh air.
