Boy Who Loves to Lick the Wind, The

The boy next door, who has autism, loves to lick the wind. "You should try it," says his mom. "All the best winds are at the beach." And so begins an amazing afternoon by the sea for two boys. One doesn't always speak with words and likes throwing stones into the sea--the other likes to collect shells and make sandcastles. But the sea works its magic and by the end of the day the boys discover they both love to lick the wind--together. And back in school the next morning, the whole class discovers the pleasure of licking the wind!
