Product description
In the days when Nantucket whaling ships could be away at sea for years at a time, a vessel's safe return was celebrated by all the inhabitants of the island. When Obadiah is hired as a runner to carry the joyous news, his little sister Rachel is certain that she can be trusted with such a mission as well. Their childlike competition plays out in a delightful story of determination and sportsmanship. Illustrated with Turkle's whimsical watercolor illustrations throughout. Beautiful Feet Books presents these restored 2018 editions in cooperation with The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art and Brinton Turkle's family, working with the original charcoal and watercolor paintings to restore the integrity, clarity, and beauty of the artist's work.
