Audrey Weber’s lush new picture book follows a family of birds and their animal friends as they take off on adventures: floating atop the waves, sailing in a rowboat, singing to greet the day, and soaring through the skies, all while knowing that a safe treetop and a nap awaits them. With simple, lyrical text and a vibrant, retro art style, The Birds in the Boat is as gentle as a lullaby and as bright as a summer morning—an ebullient, rich story of taking delight in the magic of a new day.
