skies above your eyes? Take a journey up into the air, through the
atmosphere, way out into space and back down to Earth in this
richly illustrated concertina book. Zoom past the technology that
fills our skies, from helicopters, fighter jets, weather balloons,
to satellites, hang-gliders and hot-air balloons. Discover the
insects and animals that whizz through the skies, explore the
layers of the atmosphere, and travel through the solar system and
out to the galaxies far beyond. The follow up to The Street Beneath
My Feet, which dug down to the center of the Earth, this expansive
concertina book opens out to an impressive 2.5 metres, perfect for
inquisitive young minds. Begin your journey from the sidewalk of a
busy city. Look up beyond the traffic lights, utility wires, and
skyscrapers. Unfold the connected pages to reveal the incredible
man-made sights that you would see 20 kilometres above (a weather
balloon), 50 kilometres above (a rocket blasting a capsule into
space), 100 kilometres above (a space plane and satellites), 400
kilometres above (the International Space Station), 380,000
kilometres above (the Moon) and through our Solar System. Turn to
the top of the other side to make your way beyond the Solar System
to the hundreds of billions of galaxies filled with stars and
planets we haven't discovered yet. Then start your journey back
down through the amazing natural wonders you would see 10,000
kilometres above (a comet), 85 kilometres above (meteoroids burning
up as they enter Earth's atmosphere), 11 kilometres above (a
cumulonimbus cloud bringing thunder and lightning), 8 kilometres
above (migrating storks), and down through the mountains, past
trees, bats and butterflies to finally reach the ground again -
this time in a grassy clearing of a forest, where you can imagine
yourself lying on your back wondering at the thought of the whole
universe above your head. From jet trails to comets' tails, enjoy
amazing sights as you journey through the skies. Explore even more
of the world with The Street Beneath My Feet (March 2017) and The

Closer series.
