Whoooosh! Whoooosh!" It's so loud that it's hard to sleep. Suddenly, Ricky hears a loud "bang!" outside. He looks out the window and sees his toy car fly away in the wind. All of his toys start to fly away too! "Wait, wait!" But he and all his toys are swept up by the wild wind. They fly through the dark, empty night sky towards the far-off woods. It's scary, but also exciting. Ricky feels like he's on an adventure. Yui Abe's beautiful illustrations capture the excitement and wonder of a windy night.
