Under the Southern CrossHardcover, 24 December 2019

This celebratory picture book from Frané Lessac shines a light on beloved nighttime activities under the starry skies of Australia.

After nightfall in Australia, families watch movies as bats flit overhead, mysterious orbs of light bounce across the outback, a staircase to the moon appears reflected at the ocean's edge, and a Ferris wheel offers a citywide view -- all under the Southern Cross. Bright and colorful artwork, fascinating natural phenomena, and shared experiences connect people across the country in Frané Lessac's fascinating tour of Australia at night.
