Cutpaper wizard Nikki McClure is a brilliant steward for the words of a pioneering environmentalist in this wondrous ode to cloudsand the scientific language of the sky.Rachel Carson once wrote, It is not half so important to know as to feel. What do we know about clouds? There are three basic types: stratus, cumulus, and cirrus. Some are fleecy and fairweathered while others portend storms. But clouds are more than pretty or ominous backdrops. Theyre 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 An illustrator note explains the origins of Rachel Carsons shimmering essaypreviously unpublished in its entiretyand the process of adapting it to picture book format, as well as how the author of Silent Spring forever changed the way we think about science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 cutpaper technique, Nikki McClure inspires true emotional engagement with the world we all share. An antidote to get your head out of the clouds, this artmeetsscience tribute to curiosity and wonder is a gift for daydreamers and nature lovers of all ages.
