I Can Sleep When The Wind Blows is a retelling of the classic story of Jim, a 17-year-old boy who applies to work on a farm. His only qualification is that he can sleep when the wind blows. The farmer doesn't understand what he means, but he hires him. When a terrible storm comes in the night, the farmer learns the value of this unusual skill.
This delightful story helps young children understand how to plan ahead to be prepared to deal with potentially stressful situations and how doing this can help them feel more in control and prepared when difficult times come. Young children who suffer from stress or anxiety can follow Jim's example of planning ahead and believing in themselves and their ability to feel peace even when hard things are happening around them.
