Feeling like his music isn’t good enough, he goes on a journey to find the best sound in the world for inspiration. He hears the pitter-patter of the rain in the forest, the wind whistling through the desert and the hustle and bustle of the souk at sunrise, but none of it helps – he can’t decide which is the best sound. Just as he’s about to give up, he hears a familiar voice… can Jemmy teach him that perhaps there are lots of beautiful sounds, not just one, and that for Jemmy, Roy’s music is the best of all? This gorgeous debut picture book is both a lesson in subjectivity and a tribute to the power of friendship. Cindy Wume is a freelance illustrator from Tainan, Taiwan. After finishing her bachelor degree of foreign languages and literatures, she came to the UK to study MA Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art in 2014, having a strong passion for drawing and illustration.

His boat lifts from the water, and he swims towards the moon, where he finally gets a chance to say goodbye. A voice calls him from far away, and he wakes to see his mother, who has made Grandpa’s favourite dumplings. This beautiful story reminds readers of the magic of imagination, and its power in the most difficult of times. Eric Fan is an artist and writer who lives in Toronto, Canada.
