Status Updates From Ocean Meets Sky

Finn builds a boat with bits and pieces of flotsam and jetsam. He meets a huge gold fish who talks to him. He follows the gold fish to the Library Islands! The books have titles of many classics that children and adults still read today. The illustrations by the authors/artists are soft yet vibrant, full of wonderful animals and objects. This is the story of a little boy who remembers and honors his grandfather

The cover jacket caught my eye immediately. It is a beautiful sea/sky blue with images of fantasy boats, balloons, and a dragon. A child's imagination is a wonderful thing. Young Finn lives near the sea. He is mourning his grandfather, who would have been 90 years old. They were going to take a trip out to sea, to find where "the ocean meets the sky". In a dream, Finn does just that.

The story is a little heartbreaking because it’s of a young boy’s memory of his Grandfather... my daughter pointed at all the grandad pictures and said ‘that’s my Grandpa’.

Picked up this book because I loved the cover and thought I would love to read this with my daughter
