Seas are calm and winds gently blowing as the Big Blue Boat and her Captain set sail. With the passing of the hours, winds strengthen, and seas build, becoming increasingly livelier. By late afternoon the seas have become rollicking frolicking and the boat bounds along with her captain. At day’s end, a peaceful protected bay is found. In here, dolphins play, birds soar, and winds roar as the boat surfs into shore on a rollicking ride. Waters surge as the captain rapidly prepares the boat for anchor. The wheel twirls, the rudder slides, sails rustle, and the heavy grey anchor hits bottom, bringing the boat to a hip - hopping stop. Floating safely at rest, the captain heads down below and dreams her dreams of a big blue boat on the rollicking, frolicking seas. The first in a series, and a 2022 Literary Titan award winner, placing in the top 20 of the Indie 2022 Children's Bookcover Awards 0, and a 2021 Page Turner Awards Finalist, A Big Blue Boat fills the niche market of realistic sailing stories for young children, especially girls. Written in the tradition of There Once Was A Lady Who Swallowed a Fly and One Day in the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree, A Big Blue Boat takes readers on an ever growing rhyming song in this story about boats and sailing for early readers. A Big Blue Boat will appeal to readers of Lynley Dodd, Julia Childs, Dr Seuss and children who love boats and sailing.
