One Sky
by Aaron Becker (Author) Aaron Becker (Illustrator)
Marvel at the sky in this meditative die-cut book, a follow-up to You Are Light and My Favorite Color, from the Caldecott Honor-winning creator of the Journey trilogy. Its dawn begins in darkness.
With hope we greet its light. Within the pages of this elegant book is the entire sky. Lyrical text moves readers through the day, from dawn to dusk, while ink- and die-cut lines resembling stained glass arc across the pages like birds in flight. An encounter with the translucent, jewel-colored panes in this special board book offers a luminous reminder that, no matter the hour or the hue, we all dwell together under one magnificent sky.

PreS-K--Becker's die-cut board books encourage readers to explore the way the pages interact with the light, and in his latest, the text feels more ethereal, very nearly abstract: "The sky grows clear and bright. We wonder at its wildness. We drink its amber beams. With peace we welcome dusk." Young readers will either have whiplash at the speed at which the day passes or this will appeal to their poetic impulses. With the illustrations, the sky is rendered in tissue-paper bleeds, creating stained-glass windows of clouds, sunshine, and stars. VERDICT Where Becker's books are popular, or where experimental picture books do well, this selection will fit right in.--Chance Lee Joyner
