{"product_id":"9781536228700","title":"Something About The Sky","description":"\u003cb\u003eCut-paper wizard Nikki McClure is a brilliant steward for the words of a pioneering environmentalist in this wondrous ode to clouds--and the scientific \"language of the sky.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Rachel Carson once wrote, \"It is not half so important to \u003ci\u003eknow\u003c\/i\u003e as to \u003ci\u003efeel\u003c\/i\u003e.\" What do we know about clouds? There are three basic types: stratus, cumulus, and cirrus. Some are fleecy and fair-weathered while others portend storms. But clouds are more than pretty or ominous backdrops. They're the vehicle of water between sea and land, land and sea, in a cycle without end or beginning. They are the writing of the wind on the sky, a language all their own. An illustrator note explains the origins of Rachel Carson's shimmering essay--previously unpublished in its entirety--and the process of adapting it to picture book format, as well as how the author of \u003ci\u003eSilent Spring\u003c\/i\u003e forever changed the way we think about science and progress. Bringing the soft edges of clouds and the natural world to vivid life with a new, more fluid approach to her signature cut-paper technique, Nikki McClure inspires true emotional engagement with the world we all share. An antidote to \"get your head out of the clouds,\" this art-meets-science tribute to curiosity and wonder is a gift for daydreamers and nature lovers of all ages.","brand":"Candlewick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46356419772588,"sku":"9781536228700","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6626\/7820\/files\/26537143482734.jpg?v=1781638023","url":"https:\/\/giftshop.carlemuseum.org\/products\/9781536228700","provider":"The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
