If the Wind Took You Away

Amy Garuccio Illustrated by Sara Sánchez

A whimsical journey through imagined adventures that reveals the quiet power of staying connected to those we love.

If the Wind Took You Away is a tender, lyrical story about a young boy imagining what ~~may~~ might happen if the wind carried his mother off into the unknown. From throwing late night parties to soaring through space and exploring faraway lands, he dreams of freedom and adventure.

This gentle, thought-provoking tale celebrates imagination, independence, and the often-overlooked beauty of ordinary family life. A gently illustrated bedtime read that invites reflection, reassurance, and emotional connections.

A heartfelt, imaginative exploration of independence, belonging, and emotional security in family life.
Ideal for bedtime reading, offering comfort and connection through lyrical storytelling and gentle repetition.
Dreamy, atmospheric illustrations with soft textures and warm palettes that perfectly evoke both wonder and emotional warmth.
