A spirited tale of a small, mythical being who wanders off with the wind - inspired by ancient Chinese poetry and rendered in exquisite silk paintings.

Inspired by a classical Chinese poem by Song Yu, Take a Walk With the Wind dives into the world of the treelings, tiny beings that live in China's ancient mountain forests. If a primeval forest is left alone and not damaged or disturbed for at least several hundred years, it will spontaneously create one of these tiny, special beings. In this wondrous story of one such creature, Xiong brings a puff of wind to life, sending the treeling's little tangerine cap dancing through the air. Together, the treeling and the wind venture into a dark cave and visit a quiet lake, but the wind makes mischief wherever they go. Xiong is an ink wash artist, writer, and pioneering Chinese illustrator. With soft brushwork on rustling silk paper, Xiong expresses the joys and surprises of new encounters. Those who love Studio Ghibli, Tolkien's Hobbits, and mythical worlds that combine nature and fantasy, will discover a new, classic tale in Take a Walk With the Wind.

Xiong Liang is an artist, illustrator, and author from Zhejiang Province, China. His writing includes novels, essays, plays, poems, and children's books as well as a collection of Chinese folk tales. Several of his works have been adapted for animation. Xiong's work has been featured at the Osaka International Children's Literature Museum, the British Museum, and more. In 2017, he won the Chen Bochui Children's Literature Award for Take a Walk With the Wind and in 2018 he was shortlisted for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.

Chloe Garcia Roberts is a poet and translator from Spanish and Chinese. Her translations include poems by Li Shangyin as well as children's books including Feather by Cao Wenxuan and Roger Mello (Elsewhere Editions, 2017) which was named a USBBY Outstanding International Book for 2019.
