You might expect the partnership of Chan Poling (The Suburbs, The New Standards) and Lucy Michell (Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles) to produce a musical - or at least an album.
But instead, they've produced a picture book.
Fellow musician Jeremy Messersmith says:
Jack and the Ghost is a gorgeously illustrated meditation on grief and loss, a poignant reminder to not let the ghosts of the past control the present.
Chan Poling says it's not a picture book for children, it's a children's book for adults, who, he hopes will find themselves in a flood of "beautiful tears" at the end.
Jack and the Ghost is published by the University of Minnesota Press.
