They’ll conjure up adventure in far away lands, or remind you of the magic and mystery waiting just outside your front door.

Why is A Gentle Wind perfect for your family?

POSITIVE MESSAGES: Recordings from A Gentle Wind are family-friendly and age-appropriate, providing a multicultural window on the world instead of simplified stereotypes. What’s more, they are noncommercial - designed to sell your kids on life, not the latest action figures and accessories.
