Through The Night Sky: A Collection Of Amazing Adventures Under The Stars

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.

Instruments and genres from across the world are featured, with "playlists" of key pieces encouraging kids to look up pieces to hear for themselves. STEAM spreads delve into the psychology and math behind music, from how it affects our mood to how it can improve our minds.

Covering India's Ragas, Indonesia's Gamelan, Japan's city pop, and more, this book will help children discover a love of music.

Perfect for kids who are interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths), Maths Lab features activities that cover many aspects of maths, including numbers, measurement, and geometry. You'll combine art and maths by drawing impossible objects, create beautiful patterns to make a times-table dreamcatcher, and perfect the ratio for making refreshing fruit drinks.
