About this item

The boy next door loves to lick the wind."You should try it," says his mom. "All the best winds are at the beach."And so begins an amazing afternoon by the sea for two boys. One doesn't always speak with words and likes throwing stones - the other likes to collect shells and make sandcastles. But the sea works its magic and by the end of the day the boys discover they both love to lick the wind - together.A touching story of friendship, told and illustrated with warmth and empathy.Have you ever had a day at the beach with a friend?Or somewhere else you love to be?The two boys in this story have a lovely time together, splashing and whirling, dancing and whooping and, of course, licking the wind!Just as the boys look different (one has dark hair and the other fair hair, for example) - and theyenjoy different things (one likes to build castles and the other prefers to throw stones into thesea) - their brains are different, too.
