From Kirkus

Billie Wind is a doubter--she doesn't believe in things she can't see, hear or touch. However, with the help of Cootchobee and Petang, Billie Wind and the listener come to believe the Seminole legends in which the land and its animals do indeed talk. Clear and easy to listen to, Roslyn Alexander's reading brings alive the quest of Billie Wind. George is an extraordinary storyteller; together she and Alexander weave a magic tale, transporting the listener to the wilds of the Florida Everglades and into a hurricane. Young and old alike will enjoy this experience. S.C.A. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
