You can't see the wind, but you can see it's footprints. There are many different winds around the world that happen so regularly that they have a name. Great Gusts tells poems about each wind and some of the facts about how each wind is formed. 

Great Gusts is a series of poems and facts. It tries to be poetic about different kinds of wind, but it starts to sound monotonous. I liked knowing about some of the different names for winds around the world, but even the facts on each page weren't very interesting.
