The Boy Who Borrowed the Wind

Written by Stacey Lynn Hollow​
The Boy Who Borrowed the Wind is a luminous watercolor picture book about power, humility, and the quiet courage of letting go. There once was a boy who learned how to whistle—and the wind answered. At first, it was only a small breeze. A playful lift of laundry. A gentle push to fill a sail. But as the boy calls louder and louder, what was once a friend becomes something wild. And when the air falls silent, he must discover that true strength is not in commanding the wind—but in releasing it. Set against a windswept shoreline rendered in cinematic watercolor, this timeless literary story explores:
  • The difference between leading and forcing
  • Listening instead of commanding
  • The humility of restraint
  • Finding harmony with the world around us
Perfect for readers ages 5–10, as well as families, classrooms, and reflective read-aloud moments, The Boy Who Borrowed the Wind invites children and adults alike to consider a deeper truth: power is most meaningful when guided by wisdom. Part of The Lightkeeper Collection, this title is published by Rising Light Publishing—an imprint of Sundance Hollow, LLC—devoted to stories that nurture emotional strength, courage, and self-awareness.
