The sky creatures reach out and invite a child to join them in a swirling, joyous, celestial celebration. A tribute to life on other planets is brought to life in Faith Hubley's full-color illustrations and Elizabeth Swados's evocative sounds and rhythm. Anthology is honored to publish Skydance, adapted from Faith Hubley's now-classic animated film and reprinted for the first time since its release in 1981.

We are the creatures of the sky
We jump
We whirl
O dancing
We are dancing
Belly floating
Sky swimming
Crackle crackle zing hello


About the Author
Faith Hubley (1924-2001) was a painter and filmmaker, renowned for her experimental animation and independent sensibility in children's entertainment. After leaving a Hollywood career behind in the mid-1950s, she and her husband John Hubley devoted themselves to a ground-breaking practice of freely expressionistic filmmaking. In addition to more than fifty iconic films, Hubley created five renowned books for children, several in collaboration with Elizabeth Swados.
