With illustrations by Hélène Druvert and words by Juliette Einhorn, The Sky is a piece of art featuring cleverly designed laser-cut pages that lift us up through the atmosphere and carry us along the wind on delicate dandelion seeds.

This coffee-table children’s information book covers all aspects of the sky, including where the sky begins and where it ends (much later than I thought!). Beautiful illustrations of zeppelins and hang-gliders, along with many other vehicles, demonstrate all the ways humans have conquered the sky, and the final page is full of ways we can protect our sky – and our planet.

On top of the stunning illustrations, the text is interesting too, full of refreshing new facts to learn. This a fantastic book highly recommended for all kids who have an interest in the sky, the weather or space. For ages 9+
