The Best Winds

A warm, poignant story of a young boy who learns the craft of kite making--and the art of patience--from his loving grandfather.

In the Korean custom, Grandfather practices the ancient craft of kite making. "Tonight I will show you how to make a kite," he tells his grandson, Jinho. "For the best winds will be here soon." Grandfather teaches him how to trace the kite on paper, paint it, and build the frame from bamboo sticks.

When the kite is completed, it's so beautiful Jinho can't wait to fly it. And he does?without Grandfather, and without the best winds.
