A young girl is looking through a photo album and sees photos of herself, her mother, her grandmother, and her great grandmother. She asks about what life was like when they were her age. Originally published in 1963, this vintage picture-book brings together prolific author and editor Charlotte Zolotow, and immensely talented illustrator Garth Williams - who also collaborated on Over and Over and Do You Know What I'll Do? - in an immensely sweet story of a girl, and her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. When the girl sees a photograph of her mother at her age, she asks what her mother's life was like, and how she felt, and receives a two-part answer: her clothing, dolls, home and means of transportation all looked different, but other things - the color of the sky and grass, the feel of snow - was just the same. As it was for the young girl's grandmother and great-grandmother... I liked the quiet gentleness of The Sky Was Blue, its sense of looking back, through the generations of a young girl's female ancestors, and spotting both the differences and similarities between then and 'now.' The artwork, as could be expected, this being Garth Williams - whose work will always be associated, in my mind, with books like The Cricket in Times Square, Charlotte's Web, and the various Little House books - was very engaging, and captures the charm of each generation's surroundings and accoutrements. Recommended for children who wonder what the lives of previous generations looked like, and to fans of Garth Williams' work. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
