From the celebrated creators of A Chest Full of Words comes an uplifting modern fable about a boy who challenges convention–and takes to the sky.
When Finnegan was born, he could float–fantastic! He gleefully floats his way through childhood, until questions and concerns from friends and neighbors eventually weigh him down. Then one day, a little girl floats by him and inspires Mr. Finnegan to find out if he can still reach the clouds.
A magical and heartwarming tale of overcoming boundaries set by others–and those we set ourselves, from the brilliant duo who brought us A Chest Full of Words.
"This tale of a floating boy makes the heart sing." –Sue Morgan, School Library Journal, starred review

My Review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautiful delightful book
The story is simple and profound at the same time where Finnegan tries to forget his childhood magic. It was especially hard as Finnegan himself made sure that he was grounded just so that he could fit in. The illustrations were wonderful and it was beautiful to see Mr. Finnegan re-learn to fly with Matilda’s help.
Thank you NetGalley for the e-ARC.
