It Fell From The Sky Summary

It Fell From The Sky by Terry Fan

From the creators of the critically acclaimed The Night Gardener and Ocean Meets Sky comes a whimsical and elegantly illustrated picture book about community, art, the importance of giving back - and the wonder that fell from the sky.

THE GUARDIAN [...] gorgeous illustration [...] intricate monochrome [...] acid-bright touches of colour [...] will prompt lively discussion.

It fell from the sky on a Thursday. None of the insects know where it came from, or what it is. Some say it's an egg. Others, a gumdrop. But whatever it is, it fell near Spider's house, so he's convinced it belongs to him.

Spider builds a wonderous display so that insects from far and wide can come to look at the marvel. Spider has their best interests at heart. So what if he has to charge a small fee? So what if the lines are long?

But as Spider raises the prices, insects stop showing up, much to Spider's bemusement. And then, all of a sudden, an unexpected disaster hits and the marvel disappears!

This charming story is accompanied by characterful illustrations, and also teaches children important life lessons about greed and the importance of sharing.

It Fell From The Sky Reviews

A wonder falls from the sky in this powerful fable about community, art and sharing. Expect a high-spec production with silver foil and holographic detail on the jacket.
* The Bookseller *
'With its few words and gorgeous illustration - intricate monochrome enlivened by acid-bright touches of colour - this sophisticated picture book will prompt lively discussion among readers of 5-plus.' * The Guardian *
