Book Review: Up, Up High: The Secret Poetry of Earth's Atmosphere by Lydia Lukidis (Author), Katie Rewse (Illustrator) 🚀📚
Rating: 4 Stars
I recently had the pleasure of diving into Up, Up High: The Secret Poetry of Earth's Atmosphere by Lydia Lukidis, with charming illustrations by Katie Rewse, and I enjoyed every minute of it. This book invites readers to gaze upward into the vast expanse of the sky, revealing that it’s far from empty or invisible. Through beautifully crafted, lyrical poetry, Lukidis takes us on an imaginative journey exploring the wonders that exist high above us—those mysterious things that are flying, floating, and taking place between the treetops and the twinkling stars. ☁️✨
What I love about this book is that it truly wears many hats. It’s not just a collection of poems; it’s also a treasure trove of fascinating facts, making it perfect for older children who are eager to learn. Each page is a blend of art and information, and I found the little black boxes in the corner particularly clever. They provide the name of each atmospheric layer along with the altitude at which it begins, seamlessly integrating educational content with the poetic narrative. 📚🌈
Katie Rewse’s illustrations are nothing short of stunning. Each page captures the essence of the atmosphere in a way that is both beautiful and thrilling. The visuals really enhance the experience, guiding readers through this detailed journey into the unknown. 🎨🌌
As I turned the final pages, I was delighted to find four pages of back matter that includes a handy chart of the different atmospheric layers. This makes it an excellent reference tool for curious minds wanting to dive deeper into the science behind what they’ve just read. 🗺️🔍
Overall, I would rate Up, Up High a solid four stars. It’s a delightful blend of poetry and science that invites readers to dream big while grounding them in facts about our planet's atmosphere. Whether you're reading it with a child or simply enjoying it for yourself, this book is sure to inspire wonder and curiosity about the world above us. So, if you haven’t yet looked up into the blue and beyond, I highly recommend giving this book a try! 🌍💫
