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.
