Cover Reveal: Ocean Meets Sky by Terry Fan and Eric Fan

November 21, 2017 by Betsy Bird   2 comments

Now it’s no secret that I’m keen on one of this year’s Caldecott contenders, The Antlered Ship. As it turns out, this was just the prelude. Illustrated by The Fan Brothers, the two have shown a distinct liking for naval adventures. The proof?  Today, ladies and gentlemen, we present the cover reveal for their upcoming May 2018 picture book Ocean Meets Sky. I am pleased to show you both the cover and some interior spreads. Due to the limitations of my blog, I won’t be able to present them in their full glory, but this will at least give you a little taste of what is to come. Enjoy:

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.

Eric Fan is an artist and writer who lives in Toronto, Canada.
