Little Ferry is a small boat whose job is to take passengers to a small island. The boat is sad that she is not fast like Speedboat, brave like Tugboat or graceful like Sailboat. She tries to be more like each of these boats but she doesn't succeed. The other boats tease her for trying. When an emergency arises, Little Ferry is the only one that can help. 

Otis has a beautiful message about loving yourself for who you are. The message could easily be understood by small children. The graphics are very engaging and inviting. There are very few words per page making it a good book for K-3.
