小船的旅行 (xiǎo chuán de lǚ xíng) The Little Boat’s Journey
Illustrated in vibrant colors and simple shapes this new classic by Koji Ishikawa published in Japan in 2018 uses simple text to tell a story of friendship and persistence.
This is a little boat. Every day he transports people and goods for a little town. One day, a little boy asks the little boat to deliver a letter to a faraway friend. The boat has made a hundred trips but has never been as far as the destination for the little boy’s letter. He enjoys the breeze of the open ocean; he meets a friendly dolphin who wishes him well. He passes the whale, spike, and hogshead islands. He braves a storm and then sees the biggest rainbow he’s ever seen. As the sun starts to set, he wonders how far the big port is. As the evening comes, he decides he will rest, and the sound of the waves help him quickly drift into dreams. He greets the rising sun and is trailed then quickly passed by a very large boat. At some point later, he sees many many boats. The port! When he delivers the letter to the little girl, she says “Thank you, little boat!”
