(2) K-3 Illustrated by Júlia Sardà. Ed's bad mood escalates from a tiny whirlwind into something sentient that "swept over him in a raging storm and stuck." The digital art, showing Ed sweeping leaves into piles that grow exponentially and dominate his town, are particularly evocative of a mind overwhelmed. Eventually, a new wind from another direction changes the situation--and Ed's mood. Useful for exploring with readers who struggle to manage intense emotions.
