An uplifting and heart-warming picture book that celebrates family, friendship and finding yourself.
Harry Arco and his dad are from a family of amazing inventors, and are especially fascinated by flying contraptions and all things airborne. Their family motto is: when you're up in the air, you're on top of the world!
But Harry begins to wonder about the top of the world – it feels great, but wouldn't it be interesting to try going in the other direction? His father is bemused. No one in the family has ever thought about taking an ocean-bound journey, travelling down to the bottom of the world. How will Harry get there? And what will he find when he does?
A powerful story about fathers and sons, family ties, having the courage to do something new – and about the glorious wonders of nature and the worlds we have yet to explore.

[A] celebration of the relationship between father and son.
The Bookseller
[This is a book] about courage and being true to yourself. But it's the supportive relationship depicted between this young boy and his father, beautifully captured in the cover image of Harry snuggling on his dad's shoulders, which gives the book real heart.
The Observer
[This] book beautifully portrays the power of parental belief. The father's unwavering support acts as a shield against self-doubt, empowering his son to confidently navigate the world. It's a gentle reminder that we all possess inner resources that can guide us through life's challenges. I would highly recommend this book for parents and children alike, offering a shared moment of inspiration and a gentle nudge to follow your own unique path.
Children's Books Ireland
This beautifully crafted picture book...is subtle yet remarkably clever. Suzanna's glorious, atmospheric full-page illustrations are a joy...and its refreshing to see such positive representation, with a supportive Black father and his determined son enjoying activities not often depicted in stories about Black people, such as flying planes and diving.
