A beautifully illustrated collection of nonfiction stories featuring
the many wonders that exist in the night sky.
Beginning with a sunset and ending at dawn, Through the Night Sky
shines a light on the magical events taking place in the darkness above.
Unlike an astronomy book that focuses on eye-popping facts and figures
about the universe, Through the Night Sky features a series of
incredible stories that take place in the sky at night. Track a colony
of bats as they fly through the twilight to pollinate the flowers of the
mysterious baobab tree, follow a family into the wilderness to gaze at
the constellations, watch whales swimming through chilly Arctic waters
under the gentle glow of the Northern Lights, then chart the journey of
a ship navigating by the stars. Through the Night Sky is a beautiful
book that spans a wide range of subjects, including everything from
nocturnal animals or revelers watching fireworks illuminate the night,
to celestial objects such as the moon, planets, stars, and meteor
showers--all under the vast night sky.
