Under the Same Sky          

Author: Britta Teckentrup

Britta Teckentrup’s illustrations are always a delight to behold and this beautiful book makes a perfect special gift for a new baby with its inclusive theme and simple text. Families of animals are shown on each spread from domestic cats to wild wolves, across oceans and all types of lands, the animals dream the same dreams under the same sky. Clever die-cut details on each page allow the rhyme to flow through the book. It’s a joyful celebration of the world we live in, with all of its animals and colours. Britta’s trademark collage technique adds texture and originality to her artwork. The subject of communities and families is shown at its simplest level, but the variety of animals from exotic flamingos and the whales in the seas, could be a conversation starter for even the youngest readers when thinking about the world as a shared environment.
