Book Description
Winter is just beginning when a warm wind blows in, and with it excitement for Chinook, a new character in the Windy series. Chinook and her bear-friend are swept away when the ice melts. A High Plains adventure ensues, with friends well met along the way. The puppet figures designed and photographed by Mitchell and Steedman have a fresh and modern style. Clear primary colors and charming line drawings add to the simple delight they give to children.
