一只狮子、一只鸟、一只鳄鱼、一只长颈鹿、一条蛇和一只大象聚集在一个黑暗的洞穴中。他们寻求避开狂野的风。他们彼此不喜欢，因为他们看起来都如此不同。只要狂野的风还在吹，他们不管喜不喜欢，都必须待在一起。最后一个进入洞穴的是猴子。它是唯一认为"与众不同是美妙的"者。

这本书因传达世界和平与社会平等的理念，赢得了简·亚当斯儿童图书奖。
A lion, a bird, a crocodile, a giraffe, a snake and an elephant come together in a dark cave. They seek safety from the wild, wild wind. They do not like each other because they all look so different. As long as the wild, wild wind is blowing, they have to stay together, whether they like it or not. The last one to come into the cave is the monkey. He is the only one who thinks: "Being different is wonderful." The book won the Jane Addams Children's Book Award for the idea of world peace and social equality.
