"A tiny boat's giant journey."

When a young boy launches a tiny paper boat downstream, he wonders about the adventures it will have on its voyage. The little vessel sails past goggling frogs and hovering insects, houses and stores along the shores, roads and railways, and eventually into the shadows of giant ships.

Though the big river becomes a dangerous place for the small boat, there are enough helpers on the water to keep the vessel afloat and on its way. The paper ship is safely passed from canoe to riverboat and finally to the crew of an ocean liner.

"Someday I'll follow, just to see," thinks the boy, "but for now it sails for me." Beneath the Bridge is a rhythmic and moving tale told in verse that gently runs through detailed and dynamic illustrations.
