Seal the hatches.
Lock the boom.Looming waves.Up . . . up . . . ZOOM!Daylight is fading, so it's time for boats of all kinds to wrap up their work and navigate back to harbor. As a tugboat and its crew of father and child steer toward home, it's a race to get there before the storm does! Harbor Bound traces their energetic journey, finally culminating with a gentle lullaby as they reach the shore.This picturebook is a natural choice for children who love vehicle stories, and its steady, lilting rhythm makes it perfect for bedtime reading.Catherine Bailey grew up on the water in sunny Florida, where she still lives with her favorite crew: one husband, two daughters, and a grumpy cat. She's had many other jobs, including sailboat deckhand, but her favorite by far is writing. Her other books include Mind Your Monsters, Hypnosis Harry, and Lucy Loves Sherman.
