Jeremy has a very long list of things that he is worried about – top of the list? Wind. But his friend Maggie has a much more daring attitude. One day she rushes out to play in the wind. When Jeremy follows, his worst fear may come to pass. 

Personally, I was worried that Jeremy’s story would a didactic tale about overcoming anxiety. Instead, it has the right amount of silliness to make the whole thing a fun adventure.
