About this title

About the Author:

Sarah Sherman McGrail loves to write about local history. She's written and published several books about the history of her native Southport Island and neighboring Boothbay Harbor. So it figured that her first children's book would have a good dose of history too. McGrail says she was inspired to write The Littlest Tugboat by her neighbor, Capt. Eliot Winslow, 96, who runs a fleet of tugboats. McGrail, who still lives in Southport, published the book through her own company, Cozy Harbor Press.
