High

Book excerpt: Take the skies and join a flight to meet amazing aviators, soaring seabirds, and mythical creatures of the cosmos. Have you ever wondered what the world looks like to those who fly high above? Or what secrets the treetop dwellers share? In High, you will meet the creatures who live high in the treetops, the birds that ride the wind, the people who have braved the highest mountain summits, and the stories we tell to explain the night-time's dazzling stars. High enables kids to explore the natural world above us and the efforts humans have made to venture high above the Earth, from early flying machines to modern skyscrapers. Linking seemingly diverse subject matter, it invites the reader to explore the wonder of the universe.
