Overview
Welcome to Big Sky Mountain, a heartwarming four-book series from Alex Milway, the celebrated author-illustrator of Hotel Flamingo. Rosa leaves the bustle of the city to live with her eccentric Grandma Nan in a wooden cabin deep in the wilderness, surrounded by talking animal friends like Albert the moose and Little Pig the pygmy owl. Across four linked adventures, Rosa learns to read the weather, track wildlife, and lean on a warm mountain community. Funny, gentle, and richly illustrated, this paperback collection is perfect for children ages 5-8 building reading confidence and a love of nature.
About the Books
The Big Sky Mountain series follows Rosa's growing bond with the wild, interconnected world around her as she settles into life with Grandma Nan. In the first book, readers meet the mountain's cast of characters, including Albert the moose and Little Pig the pygmy owl, and discover the rhythms of cabin life, animal friendships, and outdoor exploration. The Forest Wolves brings a storm and a frightened wolf cub to Rosa's door, pulling the whole community together to offer shelter and protect one another when it matters most. In The Beach Otters, the story shifts to Toe-Dipper Bay, where Rosa and Nan uncover a pollution mystery and team up with a family of otters to clean the shoreline, gently introducing environmental themes in an accessible way. The series closes with The Sky Eagles, a higher-stakes adventure in which Grandma Nan goes missing and Rosa must call on everything she has learned to track her down with help from her mountain neighbors. Alex Milway, who also created the Hotel Flamingo series, fills every page with charming illustrations and a found-family cast that makes the wild feel like home. Each story stands on its own, yet together the four books build a satisfying arc about courage, cooperation, and curiosity. With short chapters, accessible vocabulary, and plenty of pictures, the set works equally well as a read-aloud or for a child reading solo, making it a natural fit for classroom libraries, school reading lists, and quiet bedtime chapters alike.
