Schooner

More about the book

Acclaimed children's author Pat Lowery Collins chronicles the generations-old art of shipbuilding and the extraordinary construction of a modern day schooner. Through the magic of memory and artistic imagination, a young boy sees it all unfolding once again. And through his diary and in Collins's brilliant paintings, Schooner tells the tale of shipwrights in action and of the young boy who watched and helped as the mighty vessel rose from keel to spars.
