The illustrations in Bright Sky, Starry City are integral to telling its story. Sometimes they reinforce the text, and sometimes they provide additional information. Break the class into small groups and assign each group an illustration. Have the students analyze the picture closely, comparing it to the words on that page. What does the picture convey? Why is it drawn the way it is? What is the illustrator communicating that is different from the words of story? What concepts is she emphasizing? Have each group present their findings to the class.
