Author shares ‘Boats on the Bay’ with young readers

Jeanne Walker Harvey’s newest picture book, Boats on the Bay, introduces children to all sorts of  seagoing vessels — from kayaks to tall sailings ships — that ply the waters of San Francisco Bay. 

Harvey will read and answer questions about her book on Saturday, October 6, 11 a.m, at Readers’ Books.

Harvey is the award-winning author of several picture books, including Maya Lin: Artist-Architect of Light and Lines and My Hands Sing the Blues: Romare Bearden’s Childhood Journey. She will donate her proceeds of the Bay book to Call of the Sea, an educational nonprofit that gives Bay Area youth an opportunity to sail traditional tall ships, investigate the local marine environment, connect to the Bay’s rich maritime history, and inspire them to be stewards of the sea and earth
