Blue Sky White Stars: Un Cielo Azul Blancas Estrellas (Bilingual English/Spanish)

by Sarvinder Naberhaus (Author) Kadir Nelson (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

An inspiring tribute to the beauty and meaning of the American flag, a symbol of America's history and people.

Wonderfully spare, deceptively simple verses pair with richly evocative paintings to celebrate the iconic imagery of our nation, beginning with the American flag. Each spread, sumptuously illustrated by award-winning artist Kadir Nelson, depicts a stirring tableau, from the view of the Statue of Library at Ellis Island to civil rights marchers shoulder to shoulder, to a spacecraft at Cape Canaveral blasting off.

This book is an ode to America then and now, from sea to shining sea, and is now accessible to a much larger audience in this bilingual edition.


Un homenaje inspirador a la belleza y el significado de la bandera estadounidense, un símbolo de la historia y el pueblo de Estados Unidos.

Los versos maravillosamente sobrios y engañosamente simples se combinan con pinturas ricamente evocadoras para celebrar las imágenes icónicas de nuestra nación, comenzando con la bandera estadounidense. Cada pliego, suntuosamente ilustrado por el galardonado artista Kadir Nelson, representa un cuadro conmovedor, desde la vista de la Estatua de la Biblioteca en Ellis Island hasta los manifestantes por los derechos civiles hombro con hombro, hasta el despegue de una nave espacial en Cabo Cañaveral.

Este libro es una oda a los Estados Unidos de entonces y ahora, de mar a mar resplandeciente, y ahora es accesible a un público mucho más amplio en esta edición bilingüe.
