Boats for Papa

(3) K-3 Young beaver Buckley lives with his mother in a small house on the beach and makes boats out of driftwood, launching them out to sea in hopes they will reach his absent father. Eventually, Buckley realizes the worth of his caring mother--and has meanwhile become a skilled craftsman. The strength of this quiet, contemplative book is its gorgeous pen and watercolor illustrations.
