At first glance, this unusual picture book seems to be entirely dedicated to the endless diversity of winds. But in fact, it questions the ways in which people experience and describe the world. The main character of the story, Tanja the Windwalker, initially performs her job in accordance with the rules and expectations of the wind observation service. However, over time, this passionate wind lover is no longer satisfied with the ordinary language of official reports; she begins to write differently – more personally and poetically, and it takes her more time to formulate sentences. At the same time, various wind officials find it increasingly difficult to understand her… The author of the text, Igor Rajki, conjures up Tanja’s experiences in the worlds of wind and language with strange new coinages and quirky puns, while the illustrator Klasja Habjan creates an imaginative visual world in harmony with the story.
