Description
Once upon a time, the sky was annoyingly low. Clouds couldn't find their place, birds couldn't fly and adults had to bend and stoop whilst walking. Needing to solve the problem before they become adults too, the children form a plan that not only lifts the sky to its rightful place, but creates the starry night sky in the process.
