THE CHRISTMAS WIND
Book ID/图书代码： 00110919C00001
English Summary/英文概要： As Jo helps her mother and her baby brother on a cold and windy Christmas Eve, she searches for shelter -- any kind of shelter -- for the little family. Her mother is ill and the baby needs feeding. There is no other option but a barn owned by a local farmer known as a solitary grouch. Nobody cares for Franklin Murdoch, and Jo doesn’t trust him to care for her family.
But Murdoch turns out to be less of a threat than Jo has feared. He makes the desperate family a warm sanctuary in his home. And when the wind has died and snow falls on Christmas morning, peace has come to them all.
Stephanie Simpson McLellen’s spare text is complemented by the subtle but beautiful art of Brooke Kerrigan in a book that is a reminder of the essential story of Christmas.
The wind elbowed Jo’s mother and kicked her to the ground.
"Stop it!" Jo shook her fist at the sky. Ignoring her, the wind stole
her scarf and blew out the light.
Her plan was to be on a bus halfway to someplace else by now,
but they weren’t even close to the station.
She pulled her mother to her feet. With a howl, the wind forced
them off the road and into the prickly fields.
This starkly beautiful story highlights the heroic spirit of a young girl and the generosity of a stranger in a book that reveals what the real spirit of Christmas is all about.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Jo在一个寒冷多风的平安夜帮助母亲和弟弟寻找容身之地——任何地方都可以。她母亲病了，孩子需要喂食。别无选择，她只能去只有一个属于一个孤僻的农民的谷仓。没有人关心农民Franklin Murdoch，乔也不相信他会关心她的家人。
但事实证明，Murdoch的威胁比乔担心的要小。他使这个绝望的家庭成为他家里温暖的避难所。到了圣诞节早晨，风停了，雪下了，他们都平安了。
Stephanie Simpson McLellen的文字与Brooke Kerrigan微妙而美丽的风格相得益彰，这本书让人们想起圣诞节的温馨故事。
风把Jo的母亲推倒在地，把她踢倒在地。“住手！”Jo向天空挥舞着拳头。风不理她，偷走了她的围巾，把灯吹灭了。她的计划是现在乘公共汽车到另一个地方，但离车站都不近。她把母亲拉起来。随着一声嚎叫，风把他们从路上吹到了田野里。这个美丽的故事突出了一个年轻女孩的英雄精神和一个陌生人的慷慨大方，这本书展示了圣诞节真正的精神。（YYW）
