The Clouds Above by Jordan Crane
Rip-roaring adventure about a kid named Simon who skips school one day with his cat, Jack. They climb a magic staircase leading skyward, encounter a sad cloud named Perch and get mixed up in a conflict involving him, some nasty clouds and an irritable flock of birds. Will they make it back home safely in time for school tomorrow? This brilliant, full-colour graphic novel doubles as a wondrous children's book, recalling such classics as Where the Wild Things Are and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, with its depiction of a fantastic world that lurks around the corner.Jordan Crane was trekking in the woods with his wife, Rebecca, around the Fourth of July when she screamed, Interdependence Day! Jordan was so taken with the idea that he decided to produce a comic about it. He spent months trying to get things just perfect. It's not a novel concept, Rebecca explained. It's something that everyone is aware of.
Simply be clear and sketch what you see. So he sketched it all over again, until it was finally finished--the book you are holding now.
