For thousands of years, civilisations have turned to the stars for guidance.

From the Polynesians who voyaged across open oceans using only the stars to light their way, to ancient farmers who timed their harvests by celestial rhythms, and storytellers who filled the heavens with legends, this book explores incredible stories from each corner of the world.

Featuring myths and folklore passed down through generations with modern scientific insight and tips for budding stargazers, The Sky We Share is the perfect Christmas gift for curious children and anyone who has ever looked to the night sky with imagination and wonder.
