A Little Ferry Tale

"Little Ferry yearns to be more like the other boats in the harbor who are faster or stronger, but her uniqueness proves to be her strength when an emergency erupts"--

In the spirit of The Little Engine That Could, this sweet picture book introduces A Little Ferry Tale, where Little Ferry yearns to be more like the faster or stronger boats in the harbor, only to find out her uniqueness can be her strength.

Little Ferry feels like no one notices her. She isn’t strong like Tugboat, fast like Speedboat, or graceful like Sailboat—the boats everyone loves to watch. But Little Ferry is special, too! She’s patient and careful and always on time. And when disaster flares on Wildlife Island, Little Ferry discovers that her quiet traits are the very ones that will help her finally stand out and save the day.
