Four animals from around the world come together to solve the problem of a sky-too-low in need of fixing. Children and parents alike will enjoy the watercolor paintings that accompany this environmentally-minded picture book.
For many years, Barbara Dolan-Wilkinson worked at the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park where she found joy in leading children on nature hikes. She loved to watch their eyes sparkle as she taught them about the magic of the redwoods through her story, Lift Up the Sky! / Levanten el Cielo! Inspired by a Snohomish story she once heard at a storytelling festival, Dolan-Wilkinson crafted her tale in the tradition of all great oral narratives. In 2021, she put the story to watercolors an[1] [2] d this book is the result.
In line with many other children's books published through The Press at Cal Poly Humboldt, Lift up the Sky! / Levanten el Cielo! is a bilingual publication. The Spanish translation has been caringly crafted by Judy Dolan and Esteban Guevara.
Included within Lift Up the Sky! / Levanten el Cielo! are pages and pages of facts and information about various types of redwood trees, along with resources to learn even more about the importance of redwoods. There is also a free, double-sided activities sheet filled with fun facts, coloring activities, and a redwood forest treasure hunt available to download and print from home.
