We Were the Sky

We arrive in this world already whole- but we forget. And slowly, we remember. We Were the Sky is a visually rich and emotionally resonant picture book that explores the profound inner journey of what it means to exist. Told in spare, lyrical language and accompanied by ethereal monochrome illustrations, it invites readers into a dreamlike space between stars and silence, where meaning unfolds slowly, softly, and with deep emotional clarity. Through the eyes of faceless figures adrift in a cosmic landscape, the book reflects on love without words, the ache of separation, the grace of forgiveness, and the quiet magnetic pull that draws us back to one another-and to ourselves. This is not a story with characters and plot. It is a meditation. A mirror. A remembering. A space where grief becomes beauty, and wonder lives in the pauses. Perfect for readers who treasure works like The Little Prince, The Red Tree, or Here We Are, this book is for anyone who has ever: - Felt too small in the face of the universe - Carried the weight of something they couldn't name - Looked at the stars and felt both alone and completely held - Longed to be understood without needing to explain "We weren't reaching for the light. We were it- scattered across the dark, waiting to remember." A timeless book for adults, teens, or anyone with a wondering heart. Ideal as a gift for someone navigating change, grief, love, or awakening.
