Finn remembers the stories his grandfather told him about – a place where the ocean meets the sky, where whales and jellyfish soar and birds and castles float. On his late grandfather's birthday he builds a boat, falls asleep and when he awakes, he finds himself on a magical journey to a place his grandfather had told him of: the place where ocean meets sky. This beautiful and poignant story has stunning illustrations throughout and explores themes of family, memory and loss.

Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.

Each stage of the journey is beautifully illustrated in serene, glowing colours, full of detail and delight. Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example.
