\nIf you happen to follow Calling Caldecott<\/a><\/strong> over at the Horn Book<\/em>, you know that our talented guest posters have been writing about some beautiful 2021 picture books. <\/p>\n

Today’s post is from Elissa Gershowitz. She writes about Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey’s<\/a><\/strong> The Old Boat<\/em>, released earlier this year by Norton Young Readers. (Remember when Jarrett and Jerome visited 7-Imp back in 2019<\/a><\/strong> to talk about The Old Truck<\/em>?) <\/p>\n

I send you today to Elissa’s post about what she calls “another emotionally moving story about a vehicle and its family.” That is here<\/a><\/strong>. When you’re doing reading that, you can head back here, if you’re so inclined, to see some spreads from the book (below). <\/p>\n

Enjoy!
