Synopsis
Giant sky, brightest blue,
like an artist painted you.
How I wonder, wonder why,
why are you so blue, big sky?
Enchanting and educational! This picture book takes the young reader through the arc of the day and answers “Why?” in beautiful verse that begs to be read aloud. Pitch-perfect rhyming text from author Lisa Varchol Perron and stunning illustrations from rising-star Nik Henderson combine in an incredible picture book for children to treasure.
