The Deepest Dream: Sub-Marine Adventures — An Illustrated Bedtime Story for Curious Children and the Adults Who Read to Them

Some stories live on the surface. The best ones ask you to dive.A boy. A toy submarine. An ocean that holds more than water.The Deepest Dream: Sub-Marine Adventures is an illustrated story about Alex, a boy who lives where the land grows tired of being land and quietly becomes the sea. One stormy night, he falls asleep holding his favourite toy — a small, paint-chipped submarine named Finn — and wakes inside a journey that will change everything.Beneath the waves, Finn meets creatures who teach him what no one else has. An octopus who reveals that fighting the current is the slowest way to travel. A wise old turtle who carries an entire world on her back and a single sentence Finn doesn't yet understand. A scarred tiger shark whose kindness defies everything anyone ever told him about danger. An anglerfish whose beautiful light hides the truest threat of all.What Finn discovers in the deep is not what he was searching for. It is something better.What makes this book differentTwo stories in one.
