Skygazing
Welbeck Children's Books (Verlag)
978-1-913519-03-2 (ISBN)
What do you see when you look up at the sky? It may seem like a big, empty space, but it's busier than you think. From clouds and stars, to birds, planes and everything in between – there's a whole sky to explore.
Skygazing is a double-sided book full of incredible cross-curricular information, fun activities, and beautiful illustrated scenes to enjoy. Discover why the sky is blue, early experiments in flight, and how helicopters stay aloft, before flipping the book to read all about the night sky. Find out how to read the stars, spot the night's flying creatures and see the colours of the aurora borealis.
Anna Claybourne has written over 150 children's books on all kinds of subjects, from sharks, black holes and splitting the atom to how to draw, Shakespeare's life, and Greek myths and legends. She knows a lot about conservation in the rain forests of Costa Rica as she once volunteered there for three months. She likes space, sewing and music, plays the trombone and loves going camping. Kerry Hyndman has created rich, textured illustrations for a number of clients including The Times, BBC, and Waitrose, as well as other publishers. She illustrated Faber & Faber's Survivors, which won the Blue Peter Book Award 2017, and went on to illustrate the rest of the series.
