When a little boy asks this question at the end of a happy day, his mother explains that the wind does not stop-it blows away to make the trees dance somewhere else.

Reassuringly, she tells him that nothing ever ends, it simply begins in another place or in another way. Rain goes back into the clouds to create new storms, waves fold back upon the sea to become new waves, and the day moves on to make way for the night, bringing the darkness and stars for the little boy to dream in.

Charlotte Zolotow's lyrical prose and Stefano Vitale's rich illustrations make this a beautiful celebration of the cycle of life.


愉快的一天結束後小男孩問了個問題，媽媽回答道：「風不會停喔！風只是吹走了，讓其他地方的樹翩翩起舞。」

媽媽強調：「這不是結束，只是另一個開始。」就像雨回到雲層裡是為了創造新的暴風雨、海浪退回到海裡是為了形成新的波瀾、而太陽下山是為了讓月亮升起，讓滿佈星星的夜空陪伴小男孩進入夢鄉。

夏洛特‧佐羅托夫的抒情散文結合斯特凡諾‧佛塔利的豐富插畫，讓萬物的生命週期更顯多采多姿。
