You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot!

The great golden fish, though, I found a bit terrifying; he acts as Finn's guide, so he's kind of a necessary part of the story, but I'm not sure how he'd go over with little kids. Although I have enjoyed everything this talented pair have produced, from the aforementioned The Night Gardener, which they both wrote and illustrated, to The Antlered Ship, which they illustrated for author Dashka Slater, I think Ocean Meets Sky is the Fan Brothers' best work yet! Sentimental story, nice enough, but there's little there about Grandpa or the boy's relationship to him, really.

Finn reminisces on his loving relationship with his grandfather, a raconteur whose fantastical stories nourished the young boy's imagination. together with two magnificent whales, numerous other sea (and air) creatures, and various other conveyances, from sailing ships to air balloons.

This book is also about a young boy who lost his grandfather and he needs a way to say goodbye to him. While it is never explicitly stated that Finn's grandfather has passed, and never says that Finn misses him, my son understood. lol I have grand nephews and grand nieces with parents who value reading good books to their children. One part of the creative team - with his brother Terry Fan - known collectively as the Fan Brothers. On the day his grandfather would have been ninety, Finn builds himself a ship and sets sail to find that place, mentioned many times by his elderly relative, where the ocean meets the sky.The artwork here is breathtakingly beautiful, and there are multiple two-page spreads I would happily hang on my wall, if they were available as prints or posters.
