"What does the sky say?"
a child asks.
What does it say
on a winter day,
or on a
Saturday night,
or when the rain beats
on its chest,
or its mouth is full of moon?

 

What Does the Sky Say?
with illustrator Tim Ladwig

The story
A child watches the sky in changing seasons and in all kinds of weather and learns to listen to its voice.

In What Does the Sky Say? author Nancy White Carlstrom's imaginative and poetic text encourages all readers, both very young and older, to wake up to and participate in the opportunities for joy and learning each day offers. And Tim Ladwig's extraordinary illustrations perfectly capture the moods of weather and season, the magic of childhood, and our deep connection to all creation and its Creator.

Reviews

“...delightful, imaginative, and engaging text perfectly captures the wonder of watching the sky and listening to its many sounds both dramatic and subtle in the changing seasons and in all kinds of weather.” Midwest Book Review
