All the animals in the northern forest are invited to the annual Windfall Ball. The wind prepared for the ball as the animals prepared for winter by gathering in the harvest. Come enjoy their festive dance.
This beautifully illustrated book shares the joy of the fall colors and harvest. Swenson utilizes a double meaning of the word, windfall, to bring meaning to her story. The meanings she employs are that the animals gather the fruit that has fallen to the ground from the strength of the wind, while also bringing a good fortune.
