Description: The story is about a friendly competition between the Sun and the Wind, who decide to settle an argument about who is stronger by seeing who can make a man walking on the road remove his coat. The Wind goes first, blowing fiercely to try to force the man to take off his coat. However, the harder the Wind blows, the more tightly the man wraps his coat around himself. Then, it's the Sun's turn. Instead of blowing, the Sun simply shines brightly and warmly, gently encouraging the man to take off his coat. The tale is often appreciated for its simple yet powerful moral: kindness and gentle persuasion are often more effective than force or aggression. Mackinnon's retelling maintains the timeless charm of the fable while making it accessible to early readers with engaging illustrations, simple text, and repetition that aids comprehension and encourages participation.
