But the winds don't blow that way submitted by FordAlpha on August 24, 2017, 8:53pm Don't let a meteorologist get ahold of "Merle the High Flying Squirrel"; she might be tempted to quibble with this little rodent's journey from the Midwest to the California coast on a storm-borne kite. Still, it's a relatively short and simple tale from Bill Peet (in prose, not verse), and conveys a sense of awe and of the rewards of undertaking a long, arduous, uncertain journey. As always, Bill Peet has a gift for believable fantasy in his animal behavior and depictions. The squirrel's motivations and decision-making processes are simple, as they should be.
