"The heart of Rebecca Wheeler's When Daddy Shows Me the Sky is the simplicity of a father sharing something he loves with his daughter. The yoga poses are creatively described through constellations, and the simple clean illustrations add depth to the well-told story. Even if you're not into yoga, pick up this book to spark conversations about what you would like to share with your kids and what they would like to learn from you. What I love most about When Daddy Shows Me the Sky is the quiet message that investing time into children is a powerful way to sow into them joy and life."
