The boy and his boat are inseparable, until one day when the wind pushes the toy boat out into the wide lake. Alone now, the little boat must face fierce waves, a grumpy ferry, a sassy schooner, and a growling speed boat. How the little boat misses the boy But if he is going to survive, he must figure a way to do it on his own. Loren Long has a timeless and magical touch.
