15 posts | 20 read | 6 to read
From the creators of the gorgeous bestseller The Night Gardener, comes a stunning new picture book about a young boy who sets sail to find a place his grandfather told him aboutthe spot where the ocean meets the sky. Its a good day for sailing. Finn lives by the sea and the sea lives by him. Every time he looks out his window its a constant reminder of the stories his grandfather told him about the place where the ocean meets the sky. Where whales and jellyfish soar and birds and castles float. Finns grandfather is gone now but Finn knows the perfect way to honor him. Hell build his own ship and sail out to find this magical place himself! And when he arrives, maybe, just maybe, hell find something he didnt know he was looking for.

So imaginative!
“… that magical place far away, where ocean meets sky. It had been a good day for sailing.”

#LetsTravelAugust Day 4: While this may be considered a story about grieving and loss, it did not feel that way to me, although there was whispered longing fluttering through the pages. What stood out more for me was the celebration of life, magic, and beauty as the young boy painstakingly crafted this gorgeous boat, since clearly “It‘s a good day for sailing.” #Ship

4 🌟
This book is beautifully illustrated. A little boy falls asleep and goes in search of his grandfather, and where the ocean meets the sky. He will find a travel guide in the golden fish, and spend his night high in the air among the whales. This story is all about the illustrations and imagination. It serves its purpose, and makes a lasting memory.

This was an achingly beautiful and magical book. The illustrations just sweep you away in the story of a boy trying to follow his grandfathers words. Culture, magic, and love all wrapped together in a beautiful package.

Gorgeous imagery and a sweet story combine into a lovely picture book. Full of fantastical elements, but ultimately about missing someone you love, it hits a perfect tone.

A wondrous dreamland journey through sea and sky, taken by a small Asian boy in remembrance of his grandfather. The gorgeous illustrations can be examined endlessly. Above, amid submarines, sampans, pirate ships, zeppelins & whales, the boy‘s tiny vessel is hard to find (see arrow). Grandfather‘s wispy moustache is echoed in the whiskers of the giant carp, and both faces merge as the man in the moon. Nostalgic & magical, with a comforting ending.

The art in this #Canadian #picturebook is outstanding.

VioletBramble I bought this at ComicCon just because of the art. It reminds me of A David Weisner book. 6y
Lindy @VioletBramble Yes, Weisner is a good comparison. Dreamy/surreal. 6y

He followed the golden fish to the Library Islands,
where a hundred bookish birds were roosting.

Finn lived by the sea, and the sea lived by him.

Fantastic illustrations, as always, but the kid and I were kinda “meh” in the story. Their books are worth looking through just for the art. Maybe they should move to wordless?

Slajaunie Beautiful illustration!! 6y
Zelma That‘s too bad since that is such a beautiful image. 6y
SilversReviews Love the illustration. 6y
MarriedtoMrT @Zelma It‘s not horrible and many may like it, I just don‘t think it lives up to the illustrations. 6y
