A boy, a boat, and a sense of home
Set off a small island, this picture book pairs a young boy with an old boat as they travel through changing tides. The sea journey becomes a frame for ideas of belonging: the description connects the boat’s passage with wishes, changing circumstances, chosen family, and the homes people nurture. Its island-and-ocean setting also places the natural world alongside that exploration of home.

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.
