Description
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.
