The Little Boat
By Kathy Henderson
Illustrated by Patrick Benson
Stunning new edition of the Kurt Maschler Award-winning story about the voyage of a small boat.
Down on the shore, a little boy makes a little boat from a piece of polystyrene. He plays with it all day long. But a gust of wind catches the boat and takes it out to sea...This is the story of the little boat’s voyage across the ocean until it comes to land once more in the hands of another child.
- Winner of the Kurt Maschler Award and Highly Commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal.
- "A fine heartwarmer ... would make a wonderful present for the under-eights," The Sunday Times.
