Ocean Meets Sky

Product Information

Spelling Seeds have been designed to complement Writing Roots by providing weekly, contextualised sequences of sessions for the teaching of spelling that include open-ended investigations and opportunities to practise and apply within meaningful and purposeful contexts, linked (where relevant) to other areas of the curriculum and a suggestion of how to extend the investigation into home learning. This book is that perfect combination of imagination, whimsy and a sense of myth grounded in reality.

Ocean Meets Sky has already received starred reviews from Publisher's Weekly, Kirkus, Booklist and SLJ.

The framework is that a boy dreams that he journeys across the sea in a boat that he built in honor of his grandfather, now deceased, to the place where the ocean meets the sky. 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. together with two magnificent whales, numerous other sea (and air) creatures, and various other conveyances, from sailing ships to air balloons. 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. The story highlights the importance of cherishing memories of people who have passed, and does this in an uplifting, life-affirming way.

You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.

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!The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

I haven't charted out my visits for the summer term, but I'm sure there are several in the south) and thanks so much for being so fantastic! Each stage of the journey is beautifully illustrated in serene, glowing colours, full of detail and delight. It’s about an Asian boy remembering his grandfather, who’d passed, and the stories he’d tell Finn about the place where ocean meets sky.This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). Ho preso la versione inglese: i testi sono brevi, due righe per pagina e non è stato diffide tradurre se non fosse che scrivere in matita sopra i disegni non è bello. Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. 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. But building is hard work, so Finn falls asleep afterwards, and his dreams take him to all sorts of wondrous places.
