“A Heart can be a Vessel: Rescuing the R/V Rachel Carson” is a 701-word text celebrating the meeting of two hearts: one belongs to a marine scientist, one belongs to a boat and both belong to the sea. Step off the University of Washington dock and onto the R/V Rachel Carson, an old research vessel lovingly restored by the pioneering oceanographer Beatrice Booth. Witness the courage it takes to navigate rough seas at the frontier of ocean exploration. Dummy with sample illustrations for this nonfiction picture book are viewable below.
