Island Boy (Picture Puffins)
FROM SARAH:
Barbara Cooney called this her hymn to Maine. It's one of her sadder books, but also partly autobiographical. Pair a reading of this with Because Barbara: Barbara Cooney Paints Her World.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
The youngest and quietest of 12 children, Matthias grew closest to Tibbets Island, learning its secrets through the years. And though in later years he sailed to faraway places, he always returned to the island he loved.
