Boats on the Bay: A Picture Book

Award-winning author Jeanne Walker Harvey and illustrator Grady McFerrin’s Boats on the Bay is a large-format picture book about a bunch of boats found on a busy bay, buoyed by simple, spare, and lyrical text. A KidLitTV-recommended book! Inspired by the San Francisco Bay but with universal appeal, the book features a spectacular double-spread gatefold finale showing a boat parade and fireworks glowing against a city backdrop. “This mini intro to our safe harbor is perfect run-up or follow-up for a leisurely stroll along the Embarcadero, bracing bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge, or ferry tour around Alcatraz. Take-home message: Take notice.” –San Francisco Chronicle “A celebration of place and a catalogue of the kinds of vessels dear to the hearts of boat enthusiasts young and old.” –Publishers Weekly
