Seamouse Builds a Boat is a heartwarming children's picture book written by David Youell with illustrations by Martynas Marchiusm. The story follows a mouse who lives under a rock on the sea dock, and every day he observes different kinds of boats: big, small, long, short, shiny, and old. The mouse longs for his own boat to explore the vast seas. Unfortunately, he is poor, and his dream seems out of reach. One night, he has an epiphany: he is going to build his own boat and make his dreams come true. He explores the dock looking for items to build his boat and finds different things to use as alternatives for the boat parts. Join Mouse as he builds his boat and sets out on an amazing adventure.
Seamouse Builds a Boat is a tale of determination and creativity that will inspire young readers to believe in themselves and never give up on their aspirations. David Youell uses a cheerful tone and rhyming words to narrate the story, giving it a musical quality that makes it enjoyable to read.
