An absolutely gorgeous book created by Nikki McClure from the text of a forgotten kids’ TV special Rachel Carson wrote， about clouds。 The art is stunning （naturally） and the text really does share the science of "the ocean" of air in a way I never learned before。 However， the text is aimed at older kids and needed to be extensively edited and wasn't。 A TV special is not a picture book。 Age range is earth-science-curious kids from Kindergarten or 1st grade through to 3rd or 4th grade， maybe older An absolutely gorgeous book created by Nikki McClure from the text of a forgotten kids’ TV special Rachel Carson wrote， about clouds。 The art is stunning （naturally） and the text really does share the science of "the ocean" of air in a way I never learned before。 However， the text is aimed at older kids and needed to be extensively edited and wasn't。 A TV special is not a picture book。 Age range is earth-science-curious kids from Kindergarten or 1st grade through to 3rd or 4th grade， maybe older。 。。。more

I love how Carson describes the atmosphere as an ocean and how the "movements of the air are made visible by the pattern of the clouds，" like the waves of the sea。 This book is a thoughtful observation of the sky， the water cycle， and different types of clouds and it's illustrated beautifully by Nikki McClure。 Thank you to the publisher for an early peek at the DRC。 I love how Carson describes the atmosphere as an ocean and how the "movements of the air are made visible by the pattern of the clouds，" like the waves of the sea。 This book is a thoughtful observation of the sky， the water cycle， and different types of clouds and it's illustrated beautifully by Nikki McClure。 Thank you to the publisher for an early peek at the DRC。 。。。more

This book can be both too flowery， poetic， artsy and yet beautiful。 This is not for everyone， and even if this book is for you， it might not be an easy read。 Take your time reading， be comfortable， do not be afraid to start over and to read multiple times。 Also do not be self conscious about saying， "I did not get that" as I said that many times。 I give this a four for potential， it is a great book for the right reader and there are some fantastically expressive illustrations。 This book can be both too flowery， poetic， artsy and yet beautiful。 This is not for everyone， and even if this book is for you， it might not be an easy read。 Take your time reading， be comfortable， do not be afraid to start over and to read multiple times。 Also do not be self conscious about saying， "I did not get that" as I said that many times。 I give this a four for potential， it is a great book for the right reader and there are some fantastically expressive illustrations。 。。。more
