Caldecott Honor Book Sector 7

Clouds have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. Thanks for David Wiesner I now know how and where clouds are manufactured. In this wordless picture book,we are transported from the top of the Empire State Building by a friendly cloud to Sector 7 where we learn how clouds come to life. This imaginative look into how clouds come to be in wonderful. I have lay on the ground many a day looking to the sky full of various shapes inspired by clouds. The watercolor illustrations are marvelous in detail. One of the best things about Sector 7 is that the reading audience has the opportunity to create their own dialogue. Picture books are wonderful in the sense you get a chance to look in to the imagination of the illustrator. We as an American public are truly blessed that there are so many illustrators with gifted imaginations!
