Boundless Sky is a rare thing ; both a wonderfully useful aid for teacher/parent to use as a way of opening up important discussions about friendship & compassion, the plight & needs of asylum seekers, migration & what it is that makes us "home".

This book really doesn’t disappoint. Not a single moment for beautiful storytelling has been missed. Even the end pages of this book are spectacular, showing the bird’s migration journey. The combination of Manuela’s moving illustrations and Amanda’s cleverly crafted dual narrative has created a truly masterful picture book which has a powerful message of hope, life, struggle and new beginnings.

A tale for all ages and stunningly illustrated .

This deceptively gentle tale of searching, and of finding a place to call home packs an emotional punch. This is really a tale for all ages about having empathy with nature and humankind. This book takes you on a journey half way round the world and back again visiting stunning landscapes and is perfect for current days where we have to stay at home and be mental travellers and connect globally. One of those children's books which speaks to adults too. This beautifully illustrated book will resonate long after reading.
