Sometimes Sky is vast, bright, and blue; sometimes she is dark and thunderous, her raindrops reflecting the town below. Isla loves all Sky's moods and tries to capture the variety in her paintings.
When Sky rains or clouds over, however, all the other townspeople grumble and moan. Sky decides she should just try to be happy all the time, so people aren't cross with her. But this is harder than it looks and soon the world below-and Isla's paintings-start to suffer. Can Isla convince big, bold Sky to let all her feelings and colours show? What happens to Sky when she is on the brink of bursting?
Isla and the Sky is a gorgeous new picture book from Greg Stobbs, celebrating the power of art and emotion.
Greg Stobbs is an illustrator, street artist and associate lecturer from the South East of the UK. He's worked internationally on a range of projects, from installations to interactive art pieces. In 2020, Greg created the illustrated digital backdrops for the BBC's CBeebies Christmas Pantomime. His debut picture book, Don't Ask the Dragon by poet Lemn Sissay, was published in 2022. Greg likes to develop work that crosses the boundaries between fine art,
street art, and children's book illustration.
