Narration As Books Island Boy

The acclaimed author of Miss Rumphius recounts the lives of four generations living on a New England coastal island and the importance of family ties.

The youngest and quietest of 12 children, Matthias grew closest to Tibbets Island, learning its secrets through the years. And though in later years he sailed to faraway places, he always returned to the island he loved.

"Island Boy is certain to be a favorite for family sharing, as well as a must for school and public libraries. Teachers will love it; buy extra copies."--School Library Journal

"As encompassing as the portrait of a life depicted in the award-winning Miss Rumphius, Cooney's latest work is an ode to simple acts of daily living."--Publishers Weekly

Comment On Of Books Island Boy
One of my favorite children's authors and illustrators, I was destined to like this book. And the story of this family is so dear, with spare pictures. Lovely.

Island Boy is a 1988 book by Barbara Cooney. It tells the story of a boy named Matthias, who travels around the world but eventually returns to his home on Tibbetts Island in Maine. This is a story about your heart always being at home. It's also about adventure and learning about who you are.

The story is fairly predictable. Nothing struck me as very distinctive ... but kids would probably take note of 12 siblings sharing one bedroom, raising a seagull, ... maybe the homeschooling, but probably not since that's become fairly common.There aren't any author notes. I'd like to know if this is based on the lives of the author's family or someone she knew, or maybe a combination of several local families.There's a carefully drawn map with lots of detail that shows numerous islands but it

Always one of my favorite picture books as a child, it still holds a special place in my heart. Beautiful pictures, a sweet story, whimsical and heartbreaking and perfect. I especially love the descriptions of the farm and the big family and the pillow fights. :)~Kellyn Roth, Reveries Reviews

This is both my dad and I's favorite book.I've read this too many times to count.

A story of island life, we follow a young boy throughout his life and see the changes that come to the island. Barbara Cooney's illustrations are beautiful but this book wasn't as enjoyable to me as most of the ones I have read by this talented author and illustrator. I didn't like the way a young bird was assumed an orphan, it's parents were probably nearby and should have been left, not a good message for children. There is a slightly sad feel to seeing someone's life flash by over a few pages

I love reading this multi-generational story to my children. It's a book about family and home. Lovely story, lovely pictures.
