Fans of Matthew Forsythe and X. Fang will enjoy this delightfully sharp picture book about the disappointments life can throw at you...and the joy that can be found on the other side.
Guy hates it here on the ground. It’s dirty and smelly and loud—and don’t get him started on the other forest creatures. Oh how much better life would be if he lived in the sky! The places he’d go, the wind in his face and the trees far below!
But of course, Guy cannot live in the sky. From debut author and illustrator Abigail Rajunov comes an unusually wise and gorgeously illustrated story about gaining new perspective.
