One morning, so early that fog still sleeps on the surface of the river, a young boy accompanies his yeye seven miles north to the grassy field behind their home to cut satintail to feed the livestock. But when a massive gale scatters the hay-and a whole day's work-important lessons will need to be learned about endurance, impermanence, and how to let go and weather the storm in a world that can often feel overwhelming and uncontrollable.    In sparse, lyrical prose interpreted by critically acclaimed author-illustrator Ying-Hwa Hu, The Gale is the first-ever picture book by the Nobel Prize-winning author of celebrated classics like Red Sorghum and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out. It is adapted from the novella of the same name.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45245986635959,"sku":"9781665930628","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9781665930628.jpg?v=1757070138","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781665930628","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
