Isla and the Sky
Book Review
There were lots of bright, colourful pictures in this book, just like Isla paints
I liked this book because at the end, Isla helps the Sky. There were lots of bright, colourful pictures in this book, just like Isla paints. I really like the pictures Isla paints.
I recommend this book for 5 year olds to read with a grown-up.I think the message of the story is don’t be afraid to share your feelings.
If I had to describe the book in three words, I would say: rainbows, colourful and bright.
About the Book
Sometimes Sky is vast, bright, and blue; sometimes she is dark and thunderous, her raindrops reflecting the town below. Isla loves all Sky’s moods and tries to capture the variety in her paintings. When Sky rains or clouds over, however, all the other townspeople grumble and moan.
Sky decides she should just try to be happy all the time, so people aren’t cross with her.But this is harder than it looks and soon the world below-and Isla’s paintings-start to suffer. Can Isla convince big, bold Sky to let all her feelings and colours show?
Author / Illustrator
Greg Stobbs
Greg Stobbs creates playful, surreal works that blend childlike imagination with a refined sense of composition. His paintings and sculptures often feature whimsical characters and abstract forms that feel both spontaneous and carefully controlled. While his style can seem simple at first glance, it reveals a thoughtful exploration of creativity, nostalgia, and visual storytelling.
