Under the Same Sky celebrates the things that unite the natural world, with gorgeous artwork and a gentle, life-affirming text. It seems so simple, yet it is often so complex to recognise and applaud all that we share and experience, rather than concentrating on the differences. It is truly lovely to show children that the basic emotions are common and intrinsic to us all in a beautifully, contemplative way. For ages 2–5.
