SAMPLE 01The sky boxFor the child who looks up at the sky and discovers direction within.

SAMPLE 02Feathers in the windAt the edge of the Empty Quarter, the final sunlight slipped behind the dunes. Nawaf helped secure the camp lanterns, then watched the stars appear one by one.

SAMPLE 03A star on the sandGrandfather handed him a small wooden box. Inside were a sky map and a brass compass shaped like a star. “It cannot guide you by itself,” he said. “First, you must notice.”
