Ocean Meets Sky

Book Synopsis

From the creators of The Night Gardener , comes a stunning new picture book about a young boy who sets sail to find a place his grandfather told him about… the spot where the ocean meets the sky.
It’s a good day for sailing.

Finn lives by the sea and the sea lives by him. Every time he looks out his window it’s 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.

Finn’s grandfather is gone now but Finn knows the perfect way to honor him. He’ll build his own ship and sail out to find this magical place himself!

And when he arrives, maybe, just maybe, he’ll find something he didn’t know he was looking for.

Our Review Panel says...

An original and intriguing picturebook, Ocean Meets Sky  is just fabulous. The more times you look at this stunning picture book the more lovely it seems. Dreamlike and ethereal.

This heartfelt and really beautiful story charts a boy’s fantastical journey to a land of dreams and stories that his late grandfather told him about – where the ocean meets the sky. He passes imaginary creatures, giant shells, wondrous islands and magical castles.

There’s so much heart and soul in the illustrations, which capture both the wondrous imagination and poignant longing of the child. The book could inspire artwork or story making, but equally is just a beautiful picturebook to pore over and enjoy.
