A lyrical, read-aloud bedtime story, Lying Awake features activities for the reader and pages of fascinating, educational information about life on a boat and about some of the marine wildlife in the story.
Eight-year old Lanie is lying awake in her cozy bunk on her grandfather's boat. Waiting for sleep, she listens to the noises of the marina and thinks about her adventurous day on the tide flats with Grandfather.
Learn the card game that Lanie and her grandfather love playing together and get the oven ready; Grandfather's favorite molasses cookie recipe is waiting!
Moon snails, geo ducks, sea stars galore! Check out what Lanie learns from Grandfather on the flats.
During the summer, author Helen Furbush grew up playing on the tide flats of the Puget Sound in Kingston, WA.
