by Patricia C McKissack

About this title: Mirandy is determined to win her town's junior cakewalk dance contest--a feat she is sure she can achieve if she has the help of the wind. Unfortunately, no one is able to tell her how to capture the wind. Will Mirandy ever be able to win the dance contest? Illustrated with watercolor paintings.

"So Mirandy wants to win the "cakewalk", a dancing contest. She knows that if she captures Mister Wind she can get him to grant a wish, and that's just what she sets out to do - wish him into dancing with her. There's a very satisfying conclusion here, nothing much to say."

"Loved the story and information about the Cakewalk dance contest and how Mirandy will use Brother Wind's "help" to win the dance."

"In this story Mirandy wants to capture Brother Wind so he will be her partner for the upcoming cakewalk. Cakewalk in this context is an African-American tradition of competitive line dancing, not the modern carnival game. It's clear that Mirandy's sweet friend Ezel would love to be her partner, but Mirandy is too distracted by her determination to notice. She spends her day in various attempts to capture the elusive Brother Wind. The author tells the story in a folksy, but pleasant dialect that fits with the story and doesn't seem forced. It's also a nice story about friendship and loyalty. Jerry Pinkney's accompanying illustrations are very nice. His work can also be seen in The Talking Eggs and The Ugly Duckling - all three books are Caldecott Honor books."

"I believe that this book has great ethnic representation of the South. The words that tickled my fancy were gon' (gonna), chile (child),and also tol' (told). The Southern African American culture comes out. I love the cakewalk because I remember that being such a great event for me when I was younger and would watch my relatives take part in the challenge. Great experiences mentioned in the book that many children in the South could hopefully reflect on."
