A Washington Post Best Children's Book of 2021 A New York Public Library Best Book of 2021 The creators of The Old Truck set sail with an old boat and an evocative, intricately crafted exploration of home and family. Off a small island, an old boat sets sail and a young boy finds home. Together, boy and boat ride the shifting tides, catching wants and wishes until fate calls for a sea change. Brothers and collaborators Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey’s newest picture book is a masterfully crafted celebration of the natural world and tribute to the families we make and the homes that we nurture.

Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey have done it again. This time the two brothers have created a picture book story of the life of a boy and a boat. The boy and the boat collect wants and wishes, waves and wonders, as both grow older, until the boy is no longer a boy and the boat is an old boat. A lovely ending to a beautifully told tale.
