Created by boater Nicholas Agro, the Little Harbor Publishing book 'My First Picture Book of Boating Words' might make a suitable gift for your little sailors. A unique boating book for young children, each page contains vibrant color photos of boating items along with the name of the item below it. It covers powerboats and sailboats as well as fishing and other water related items. Learning the terminology gives children a sense of empowerment which can lead to a lifetime interest. This book may help create the next generation of boaters – and provides a great boating-related activity for families to share.
The author, Nicholas Agro is an avid boater who has been boating for over 18 years. He enjoys both powerboating and sailing on the waters around Long Island, NY. The idea for the book came while he was reading picture books to his young son. He looked for a picture book of boating words but could not find one. So he decided to create his own. In the process, he also created Little Harbor Publishing. In the future, Little Harbor Publishing will publish more books of interest to boaters.
Many of the words featured in the book are specific to boating such as helm, fender, boathook, port, starboard, bow, stern, mast, boom etc. The focus of the book is on teaching children a true boating vocabulary. It worked with the author's son. "Before he could speak, my son knew the words in this book and could point to the correct pictures when asked. And when he first started speaking, he already had a boating vocabulary!"
The book is a 24-page color paperback. Cover price is $9.95. ISBN 978-0-9801512-0-6. It's currently available for purchase in select stores, from popular online retailers including BarnesandNoble.com, Target.com and amazon.com, and can be ordered by all retail bookstores.
