When he lies to his mother about where his toy horse named Wind came from, he realizes he must find the courage to admit to the lie and reunite Wind and his true owner. - Perseus Publishing
A vividly imagined story about the importance of telling the truth, even if it means losing something you love
When Jesse finds a toy horse and makes it his very own, his imagination runs wild. This horse is the fastest horse in the whole world, so Jesse names him Wind. He canât wait to race him across the prairie (the kitchen table) and over deep canyons (the bathtub). Thereâs just one problem: Wind doesnât actually belong to Jesse. He was left behind accidentally by his real owners. And though at first Jesse is full of joy as he plays with Wind, soon he starts to feel uneasyâJesse knows Windâs real owners must miss him.
But how can Jesse explain to his mother exactly where Wind came from? And is there a way to make everything okay again? The Truth About Wind is a dynamic story about the courage it takes to face up to a lie, brought to life by a trio of celebrated creators.
