Children from every corner of the earth look up at the same vast sky above them. They live in different houses, play different games, and speak different languages. Some climb mountains while others splash in oceans. Some live where snow falls while others know only warm sunshine. Yet as these young people go through their days, they discover the threads that bind them together. They all have families who care for them. They all find joy in laughter and play. They all need friendship and love. They all share moments of wonder in nature. Through Deborah Wiles' lyrical verse and Andrea Stegmaier's vibrant artwork, these children learn that the differences between their worlds make life rich and beautiful. But the similarities in their hearts matter most. Under one wide sky, they are connected by the universal experiences that make us human.
