The Sky We Share

Look up at the night sky - what do you see? A world of sparkling lights, patterns woven through the darkness and stories unfolding in the stars...For thousands of years, civilisations around the world have turned to the stars for guidance, marking the passage of time, navigating vast distances and weaving myths that have been passed down through generations. This book explores these stories from each corner of the world. From the Polynesians who voyaged across open oceans using only the stars to light their way, to ancient farmers who timed their harvests by celestial rhythms, and storytellers who filled the heavens with legends.Each tale is beautifully retold by Laura Knowles, author of the award-winning It Starts With a Seed, whose lyrical approach to non-fiction expertly brings the stories and artwork to life, making this the perfect Christmas gift for curious children and anyone who has ever looked to the night sky with imagination and wonder.
