Summary

A nearly wordless story about compassion, friendship, and perspective. High on a balcony, a girl watches the world - passerbys hurrying along, carrying umbrellas in the rain, riding bikes and walking dogs. She wishes that someone - anyone! - would look up and notice her. Finally, one day, a boy does. Realizing she can't anything but the tops of people's heads, he lays flat on the pavement..and then another person does...and another. The girl smiles, and color begins to brighten her gray world - as does her newfound friendship. With spare, simple text and striking black-and-white illustrations depicting the girl's bird's-eye-view of the world, Look Up! is a striking, emotional story about the incredible impact of simple kindnesses and the unexpected joy of looking at the world a new way. --, From amazon.com
