Produktbeschreibung

As friends gather to look for shooting stars, one boy who didn't see the celestial light learns to pay attention to what's here, not what's missing. From an Own Voices, Own Stories award winner comes a magical picture book about taking delight in nature's abundance. A dark night. Friends have gathered. One by one they point out flames streaking across the sky.All but one boy. He sees an airplane, the Milky Way, a full moon, but no shooting stars. Frustrated by his bad luck, he gives up and goes inside. His uncle sees things differently. He asks . . . What if we open our hearts to all the wonders in the sky? The bright and the quiet, the everyday and the once-in-a-lifetime. What if nature's gifts are all around, ready for us to recognize them? What if sky luck is infinite, and everywhere, for everyone? Crisp, evocative text and lush, cinematic illustrations deliver an invitation to be mindful of our planet's never-ending treasures. A final spread reminds readers of the abundance of celestial surprises all of us are lucky to delight in.

Erica Lee Schlaikjer grew up in cities around the world as a mixed-race "Third Culture Kid." The daughter of an aboriginal Taiwanese mother and a white American father, she's lived in twelve cities on three continents, packed and moved boxes into new spaces thirty-two times (and counting!)--a true citizen of the world. She writes stories about the joy of belonging, the beauty of fleeting moments, and the wonders of nature. Her debut picture book, Wild Greens, Beautiful Girl, won the 2022 Own Voices, Own Stories Award. Sky Luck is her second picture book. She loves new moon nights, magic hour sunsets, and morning mist. You can find her in Los Angeles with her husband, Nader; their son, Dahoud; and the family cat, Kismet. Learn more about her at www.ericaleewrites.com.
