This month we feature the Blue Boat Home by Peter Mayer, with illustrations by Sue Todd (2025, Skinner House Books). A book for children of all ages, to treasure for a lifetime.

Have you ever heard a book sing, or maybe read a song with pictures? This book is both a well-loved hymn and a charming picture book. It is proof that a book can be deep, profound & theological, and yet appealing and accessible at any age: toddler to nonagenarian.
