Sky All Around

Sky All Around is a picture book that children and adults--whether in two-story farm houses or twenty-story apartment buildings--will savor reading together. At once realistic and lyrical, the book explores a farming community by highlighting well-known landmarks through evocative watercolor and rhyme.
