Two boats at sea, struck by a storm, are impacted very differently - a tale about economic inequality and climate change, patterned on a classic poem.
Four characters go to sea in two very different boats for two very different reasons - Boogy and Tee set off in a luxury yacht for a vacation, while Twinkle and Hew set out in a tiny fishing dory in search of their next meal. When a storm blows up, the fishing dory soon breaks apart, casting Twinkle and Hew into the sea. The yacht hits a large rock, and as water pours into the hold, Boogy can do nothing but wail about losing his precious possessions. Then Tee spots Twinkle and Hew clinging to the remains of their boat and insists they go to the rescue - a decision that saves them all.
Inspired by Edward Lear's "The Owl and the Pussy-Cat," Kathy Stinson's story-poem with its rollicking, sea-faring rhythm and sprinkling of invented vocabulary combines with Mark Hoffmann's quirky, playful art to create a funny tale that speaks to urgent issues.
Includes as afterword a brief quotation adopted and retweeted by Greta Thunberg: "Stop saying that we're all in the same boat. We're all in the same storm. But we're not all in the same boat."
