Willa and the Wind - Hardcover

Young Willa Rose is bold, clever, and courageous. She is brave enough to ask Old Windy, the north wind, to return the cornmeal that he stole. Old Windy gives Willa a magic handkerchief in return for the missing cornmeal, but it is soon stolen by an innkeeper. Thinking that the north wind has tricked her, Willa returns to his great stone house and gives him a piece of her mind. Again, the north wind presents her with a gift, and again the innkeeper steals it. Will Willa ever outwit the cunning innkeeper?
