A group of friends gather to watch the sky for shooting stars.  A young boy feels unlucky for not seeing anything except an airplane, the Milky Way, a satellite, and a full blood-red moon. His uncle tells him to feel lucky and excited about what he has seen, and reminds him of many other things the boy has seen in the sky.  The boy goes out into the night to look again.  Does he have any sky luck?

Sky Luck is a story that encourages a mindset of appreciation for the constant wonders already present in the world.  Smith's illustrations nicely represent the infinite sky luck around us.
