The words and illustrations in a picture book work together to tell a story. As a class, reread the story and closely examine the illustrations. Discuss how the different elements of Bright Sky, Starry City work together. What information do students get from the pictures? What information comes from the text? For example, what do we know about Phoebe and her father? What might have gotten Phoebe interested in the night sky to begin with? Be sure to have students cite specifics from the book (text and illustrations) to support their responses.
