* 뉴욕타임즈 Best Illustrated Book of the Year
아프리카 나이지리아의 전래 동화를 바탕으로 만든 그림책입니다. 아주 먼 옛날에는 하늘이 사람들 바로 곁에 있었답니다. 그리고 하늘은 온갖 맛있는 음식의 맛을 지니고 있어서 사람들은 배가 고플 때 마다 손을 뻗어서 하늘 한 조각을 떼어 먹곤 했지요. 점점 게을러지고 하늘의 소중함을 잊어버리게 된 사람들은 자기가 필요로 하는 양 이상으로 하늘을 따서는 조금만 먹고 나머지는 버리기 일쑤였죠. 하늘은 인간이 자신이 부여한 은총을 낭비하는 것을 보고는 화가 나기 시작했습니다. 그리고 인간에게 최후의 경고를 했음에도....
아름다움과 교훈을 함께 지니고 있는 책입니다.

The New York Times Book Review
It is not surprising that this creation myth, coming from a culture that lives on land so difficult to cultivate that the people are under the constantthreat of starvation, makes a sin of waste. 'Why the Sky Is Far Away' puts the idea of suffering for one's bad deeds at a remove and gives the story a contemporary environmental message. While the closing words of the text emphasize the labor of the people, the illustration depicts a lovely landscape of warmocher fields of crops rich with fruit, without a sweating human being in sight. Paradise isn't lost, the pictures affirm; it is now, here on this earth, and if we fail to respect our planet, if we waste its gifts, then what will we eat? How will we live?
School Library Journal
This pourquoi tale, first told 500 years ago by the Bini tribe of Nigeria, has a topical message that is accessible to children without being heavy-handed. ``In the beginning,'' the sky was so close to the earth that anyone who was hungry could just reach up, take a piece, and eat it. The sky was delicious, tasting sometimes of meat stew, sometimes of roasted corn. But the people grew careless with the sky's gifts, taking more than they needed to satisfy their hunger. The sky grew angry, threatening to withhold its gifts if the people continued to waste them. True to its promise, the sky moved far away, and the Bini were forced to plow the fields and hunt the forest. Golembe's striking illustrations deepen and enrich this simple tale, adding immensely to the book's appeal. Using a strong, sure line and a palette of deep, vibrant colors, she evokes a timeless African landscape, resonating both the mythic and contemporary themes. The symbolic qualities of the story are strengthened by a deceptively simple composition and the weight of the flat, stylized figures, done in dense, pure black. An eye-catching choice for folklore or picture book collections, and especially useful in supplementing multicultural and ecological curricula.
Publishers Weekly
PW praised the ``dazzling, boldly hued illustrations'' in this tale of an idyllic period when the sky itself is a source of sustenance.
