The Colour of the Sky
Long-listed for the 2025 Derby Children's Picture Book Award
Poya is fascinated by all the different colours the sky can be and dreams of one day being able to reach it. His grandfather, Opi, has an idea: the kite he made with his own grandpa… When Poya loses his footing, his dreams are blown away with the kite. But Opi knows just what to do. "A gorgeous celebration of nature's colours, the fascination of the changing skies, and the loving relationship between a grandson and grandpa." ― LoveReading4Kids
