I had a feeling when I found this at the library that it was going to make me cry. I didn't expect how much, though. The whole book killed me. It makes a great gift for your true love. I wish I had had the hope page when I was 33. The sadness page has me reframing my focus on comfort.

This storybook tells about the journey of young refugees. Simple objects provide comfort in uncertain times as they struggle to define where “here“ is when it isn't home. With a little imagination, a cup becomes a boat, a blanket a sail, and so on to aid them on their journey.

#SummerSpecial Day 2: Not just any #boat but a Story #Boat. Narrated in lyrical text that builds up on words and phrases cumulatively leading to the next stop in one‘s journey, and accompanied by art that is both heartfelt and hopeful – is of its own league altogether. My review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-mAF perfect for #DecolonizeReading2023 too.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!

I‘ve been under the weather the past couple days, so I bowed out of activities last night, climbed into bed, and read this entire book. It was a delight. Sweet and reflective and hopeful, just as I‘ve come to expect from Kate DiCamillo. And the illustrations are wonderful as well!

June #BookSpin complete! 😊

AvidReader25 I need to read this one! I love her work. 4mo
BarbaraJean @AvidReader25 She‘s so good. I don‘t think I‘ve read anything by DiCamillo that I haven‘t liked! 4mo

What if?
Why not?
Could it be?
We must ask ourselves these questions as often as we dare. How will the world change if we do not question it?
