High high High Up in the Sky written by Elizabeth Crowley & illustrated by Christina Miesen
Promotional review by Alana on behalf of Coven Press.
High High High Up in the Sky tells the story of Billy the red-tailed black cockatoo and his best friend Oz the wedge-tailed eagle. With Billy’s food source running low, he and Oz venture out to find more, but when Billy strays too far from home, danger finds him. Oz, with all his true Aussie personality, must find his friend, marking the beginning of their adventure to save their homes and friends.
Daring and brave, Billy and the surrounding wildlife and naturescape is beautifully illustrated by Christina Miesen in vibrant and colourful spreads, the pages full of hidden surprises and a true reflection of the diversity of Australian wildlife. Promoting the conservation of our wildlife and environmental protection, the illustrations and action-packed story will engage with kids between the ages of 3 and 8 as they read an inspirational tale of bravery and friendship. Billy’s daring moves will keep the young readers entranced through all of Liz Crowley’s brilliant twists and turns!
