Floating across the sky in her hot air balloon, Cassi watches a flock of swifts dive and swoop through the air. On their journey, the swifts witness the wind in all its majesty as it awakes with a fury, whipping ocean waves and crafting spiralling hurricane clouds bursting with power. Through arid deserts and vast expanses of ocean, Baker-Smith captures the extraordinary migratory journey of swifts as they fly across the world to nest.

"Cassi watches a little swift dive and swoop in the still air...Then a small breeze stirs the leaves in the trees, and as the wind grows bolder, a whiff of danger sends small creatures running for cover. Across the ocean, the wind awakes with a fury, whipping the waves and cresting each one with wild white horses. And further on, around the still eye of a hurricane, clouds are carved into a great spiral"--
