Violet Duncan
When Starboy notices the wind carrying the sweet scent of his mother’s favorite flower, he asks the Southwind where she has been. So many places, Southwind says, and happily begins to recount all the wonderous places she wafted through on her long journey north before drifting into a valley in the land of Starboy’s people. By the time Southwind finishes her tale, Starboy has just enough time to pick some flowers for his mom, give thanks to Mother Earth and the wind, and set off for home with dreams of traveling to all the places the wind has blown.
Violet Duncan’s vivid text and Steph Littlebird’s luminous art beautifully capture the exuberant spirit of the wind and remind us that we are all connected.

“As Starboy revels in the ‘warm wind blowing in from the south’ carrying the scent of his mom’s favorite flower, he asks the breeze to share stories of its journeys. Southwind obliges, quietly describing travels that began at dawn with Coyote in ‘the soft desert sand’ and then took the wind north through foothills, past the Desert People and through rocky canyons. . . . Finally, Southwind drifted to Starboy, who lives among the Nêhiyaw, or Cree. . . . Littlebird’s bright digital illustrations portray Starboy as a buoyant and animated brown-skinned boy with tousled braids and Southwind as a calm, elderly presence with tan skin, shown in profile. Coils of moving air create cascades of hair around Southwind’s face that dance across geographically specific landscapes. An overwhelming sense of gratitude and underlying curiosity pervade Duncan’s text, conveying a profound respect for the interconnectivity of Indigenous lands and people. A peaceful reminder that nature links us all.” —Kirkus Reviews
