About the Author:
Kathy Henderson is an artist, printmaker and illustrator, as well as an author.

Patrick was born in 1956 and educated at Eton, in Florence, where he studied classical drawing, and at Chelsea Art School. He worked in the fashion business before a chance meeting with the sister of Sebastian Walker (founder of Walker Books) introduced him to the company. Patrick has illustrated for a wide range of authors including Martin Waddell and Roald Dahl, and he also illustrated Fly Fishing by J. R. Hartley, from the well-known television commercial.
From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 3?With great assurance, a little boy builds a sailboat out of styrofoam, string, and sticks, and plays with it all day, singing, "'We are unsinkable my boat and me.'" But the boat is washed away across the ocean, encountering many perils and trials until it is finally found by another child and the circle continues unbroken. This is a simple enough story, but it's told in rhythmic prose that is lyrical in style and uplifting in spirit. The beauty and grace of the language are enhanced by watercolor-and-ink illustrations that evoke the many moods and emotions of the sea. Together they create a sense of wonder and joy that permeate the entire book and leave readers with a warm feeling. Read this celebration of childhood aloud to feel its full impact.?Pamela K. Bomboy, Chesterfield County Public Schools, VA
