Seven Skies All at Once

Author: Ted Kooser

This picture book for ages 4-8 tells the story of seven different skies of clouds, while secondarily depicting the story of two children with a clothesline connecting the tops of their two buildings. The creative verse is full of metaphors and compound sentences that could adversely affect comprehension in younger readers, but the illustrations are so vivid and rich that non-readers could follow the narrative without the text. This would make a fun supplement to a lesson on meteorology.
