Story Synopsis
Wind is moving air, and this story explains what starts the movement. Miluna shares that the Sun warms Earth unevenly. Some places heat up more than others—land can warm faster than water, and sunny spots can warm more than shaded ones. Warm air rises, and cooler air moves in to take its place. That flowing air is wind. Sometimes it’s a whisper, sometimes stronger, depending on the differences. The tone stays gentle and grounded, helping kids connect weather to simple patterns. Curiosity stories like this grow calm understanding and help children feel less surprised by the sky’s changes.
Story Excerpt
Have you ever felt the wind on your face when you are outside? Sometimes it is a soft, gentle puff. Other times it is strong enough to make the big branches on trees dance. But what is wind? Wind is just air that is moving. All around us is air. We cannot see it, but it is everywhere. We breathe it in and out. When that air starts to travel from one place to another, we call it wind.
