After Queen Maza gave birth to her normal-looking child in the village named Beauty-a place populated entirely by deformed characters-she and King Shine were ordered to cast the child out from fear he would be their downfall. Tears fell for the first time on the sacred soil, and the Wind and River heard the sorrowful cries. Moved by compassion, they decided to take the child in and raise him as their own.
Under their playful guidance, he learned to care for the river's waves, to soar on swirling gusts of wind, and to keep everything pure and clean. Yet his new guardians sensed one final lesson remained. They named him Windter-a name whispered by both wind and river-and carried him to the Great Tree. Windter climbed to its highest point and sat above the world, watching all below with wide, curious eyes. There, he discovered how best to care for the air, the waters, and the lands.
So begins the extraordinary adventures of Windter, whose journey teaches children that beauty exists only in the eyes of the beholder, and that by caring for our planet's air, water, and land, we honor the gifts of life itself. WINDTER shines for every reader!
