In the tradition of E. B. White and Kate DiCamillo comes the magical and moving story of a bird-like boy who longs to fly
Ten-year-old Nashville doesn’t feel like he belongs with his family, in his town, or even in this world. He was hatched from an egg his father found on the sidewalk and has grown into something not quite boy and not quite bird. Despite the support of his loving parents and his adoring sister, Junebug, Nashville wishes more than anything that he could join his fellow birds up in the sky. After all, what's the point of being part bird if you can't even touch the clouds?
With an ear for language and a gift for storytelling, Michelle Cuevas will remind fans of Stuart Little and Where the Mountain Meets the Moon that anything is possible. Even flying.

A wonderful tale that captures the imagination
By Brendan Docherty
A wonderful tale that captures the imagination, uncertainty, and hopeful potential of childhood. Perfect for any dreamers and those that ever wanted to spread their wings and fly.

By zachary robbins
Sweet, silly, poetic, and deeper than a wishing well, Beyond The Laughing Sky will go down as one of the classics of children's fiction. I loved it. So did my little brother.
