The Sky Between Us (en Inglés) - Shu Chen Hou

Liam lives in a city full of honking cars and blinking lights. From his rooftop, he searches for stars through the city glow. Aarav lives in a quiet village where the night sky blazes with a thousand tiny lanterns. Both are fourteen. Both dream of the cosmos.

When their schools launch a pen pal project, Liam and Aarav begin exchanging letters - drawings of rooftops and river hills, stories of school buses and mango trees. At first, they believe their worlds could not be more different. But one night, they each look up and draw the same bright star. Their drawings match perfectly.

Through their growing friendship, they discover that curiosity, kindness, and wonder have no borders. They learn that a city roof and a village hill are both places to dream - and that the stars belong to everyone.

The Sky Between Us is a warm, gently told story about cross-cultural friendship, shared humanity, and the power of looking up. Perfect for young readers aged 8-14, it inspires curiosity about the world, empathy for others, and the joy of connection across distance.
