 Everybody loves tugboats so I'm very happy to see Tug! A Log Boom's Journey released this month. Thank you Groundwood Books and Rick Smith for your wealth of information. Rick was invaluable in getting the details right because he was a logger and a tugboat operator.  The story is about the journey a log boom takes, from start to finish - all under the watchful eye of a little boy who learns there are dangers, and adventure when you're towing tons of logs through open water. 

I was also asked to curate a list of books that all, in some way, relate to the beautiful Pacific Northwest coast. https://49thshelf.com/Lists/Members/2022-09/Scot-Ritchie-Pacific-West-Coast

I cannot believe I did not know about this interview about your lovely Tug boat boat Scot. Loved listening to you describe the process and reason for writing and illustrating this wonderful West Coast book.
Cheers, Cynthia
