There’s Some Sky in This Pie
A warm story written by the world famous children’s literature author Joan Aiken.
In a cold country, an old lady accidentally wrapped a piece of sky in a pie while making it, and something magical happened... The pie flew out of the oven and flew into the sky.
The old lady, the old man, and the kitten chased after it, jumped on the flying pie, and began their adventure. During the journey, they accepted lonely and helpless travelers and built a new home on the pie together.
The story is like a big, fragrant pie that warms our heart.
