Kavi was quiet. Too quiet for a world that shouted. Until the day the sky held him.
From beloved children's author Ethan Solace comes a deeply moving, unforgettable story about what it means to feel invisible-and the quiet, powerful magic of finally being seen.
Kavi is a young cloud leopard cub with fur so pale he disappears into the mist. The other cubs race, shout, and play-but Kavi drifts like a breath through the trees, always just beyond notice. He doesn't roar. He doesn't run. He simply listens. Watches. Waits. Until one day, in the stillness after a storm, something changes. The wind shifts. The sky opens. And Kavi realises he was never truly alone.
The Day the Sky Held Me is a breathtaking, poetic picture book about loneliness, belonging, and the quiet strength that lives inside every child. Written with lyrical beauty and emotional depth, this story will speak to anyone who has ever felt unseen-and remind them that their light was never lost, only waiting.
I love writing stories for children, and every book I create holds a piece of my heart. But this one... this one is special. The Day the Sky Held Me is one of my absolute favourites, and I hope it finds its way into the hands of children who need it most.
Perfect for ages 5-12 and beyond. A stunning gift for gentle souls, deep feelers, and the quiet ones who carry the world inside them.
