A vertical journey through the atmosphere

Starting at Earth’s surface, the book climbs through the atmosphere, using altitude as a guide to the changing world above us. Butterflies, birds, drones and aircraft mark parts of the ascent, alongside sights and subjects that include meteorites, the aurora borealis and the Apollo space mission. Its distinctive vertical format gives the journey a clear spatial frame, connecting familiar features of the sky with the farther reaches of space. The result is an illustrated exploration of altitude, atmospheric layers and the scale of the world overhead.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in science and nature
  • Young readers curious about the sky, the atmosphere and space
  • Readers who enjoy books with an unusual vertical format
