Something About The Sky is a lovely book written by Rachel Carson and illustrated by Nikki McClure. The story began as a response to a letter from a child sent to the editors of Omnibus, a television program for children. Carson developed her response into a script for Omnibus to aire on March 11, 1956.
Artist Nikki McClure adds visual dimension to Carson’s writing, employing a fluid ink work with her unique cut paper technique. This author and artist combination results in a stylistically lyrical book, worthy of any Sloane aficionado’s bookshelf. We think, had it been published in 1956, it would have been on Eric’s bookshelf, too.
