Earth and Sky takes readers from our home planet, Earth, up into the heavens and beyond. The Sun, the Moon, and the Solar System itself are all stops on this epic journey. Earth and Sky begins in terms that kids can understand -- the ground under their feet; the town where they live; the trees, rivers, and mountains that surround them. From there, a curious glance into the sky leads naturally to questions about the clouds, the stars, and space travel -- with engaging answers that are only a fun twist, flip, or pull away! Using vivid examples and simple text, writer Pascale Hedelin tackles this fascinating subject with disarming clarity. Children will delight at the ways in which these endlessly absorbing mysteries are laid bare -- and then so playfully complemented by illustrator Laurent Richard's mix of vibrancy and detail. By merging together the timeless subjects of geology, geography, meteorology, and astronomy, Earth and Sky becomes a book that is as valuable to budding students as it is just plain fun. Let the journey begin!Age 5 and up.
