Opis

Come take a journey with one highly imaginative little girl named Lorelei as she bursts onto the page to lead us up, way up high. Whether it's swaying with the trees or drifting with the birds, floating on marshmallow clouds or exploring near the sun, Lorelei's precocious voice encourages us to describe the world around us with attention, interesting new words, and curiosity. Lorelei is a wonderful and fun companion who will help open any child's world, just by looking up. Written by the poet Jonathan Scott, Lorelei and the Lovely Sky is unique for its inventive, playful, and educational word choice, its musically measured phrasing, and its warmth for both reader and character alike. Jessy Mayfield's beautifully electric illustrations round out a world of color, creativity, and experience that any child (or parent ) will be happy to lose themselves in. Jonathan Scott passed away in 2014, and for anyone who wasn't lucky enough to know him or his work, Lorelei stands as a fitting and lasting tribute to his energy, empathy, kindness, and mischievous ability with language. It is only right that a child who shares his passion for reading and his curiosity for the world around him have the chance to live with Lorelei inside the poet's utterly singular imagination.
