In the days when Nantucket whaling ships could be away at sea for years at a time, a vessel's safe return was celebrated by all the inhabitants of the island. Runners would carry the joyous news as soon as the vessel was sighted from the island's highest point. When Obadiah is hired for this important task, his little sister Rachel is certain that she can be trusted with such a mission as well. Their childlike competition plays out in a delightful story of determination and sportsmanship. Illustrated with Turkle's whimsical watercolor illustrations throughout. 30 pg

Rachel and Obadiah

Beautiful Feet Books

The charming adventures of Obadiah Starbuck have been beloved by children and adults alike since he first captured hearts in the story of his friendship with an injured seagull in Thy Friend, Obadiah, winner of the Caldecott Honor. The days of Clipper ships and Whalers in the quaint colonial village of Nantucket form the backdrop to these heartwarming tales of a Quaker family and the often rambunctious but always delightful Obadiah. In this tale, Obadiah has determined to become a fearless pirate when he grows up—to roam the seas with buried treasure in secret places! But the gift of an heirloom telescope and a gentle lesson from his father on true bravery give Obadiah an entirely new perspective on courage. Brinton Turkle's warm and engaging watercolors suit the text perfectly. 36 pg

Obadiah the Bold

Thy Friend, Obadiah

1970 Caldecott Honor Book\nWhat was a silly seagull doing, following Obadiah around like a pet? It even spent the night roosting on the chimney opposite Obadiah's bedroom window. Obadiah was annoyed. But on a bitter winter day when Obadiah needed a friend, the seagull wasn't to be seen, and Obadiah missed it. Then, when the seagull was in trouble and Obadiah was able to help, he suddenly discovered how pleasant it is to make a friend. Glowing pictures of old Nantucket set the scene for a story full of warmth and delightful understanding of the feelings of a very real little boy.\nBeautiful Feet Books, in cooperation with The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art and Brinton Turkle's grown children--Matilda Rubin, and Haynes and Jonathan Turkle--are delighted to present these new 2018 editions of the Obadiah books for the next generation of readers. Working with Mr. Turkle's original charcoal and watercolor paintings, we have endeavored to restore the integrity, clarity, and beauty of the artist's work.

Review\nTurkle's engaging little Quaker boy takes a back seat here to little sister Rachel. All Nantucket awaits the Speedwell's return from sea; miller Jacob Slade is primed to spot the ship from his hilltop; and the two children run a race to see which of them will qualify to bring the news to the captain's wife. No girl has ever carried such a message before, but miller Slade is willing to give Rachel a chance, and Obadiah cockily gives her a head start--but then, true hare to her tortoise, he stops to pick a bushel of blackberries on the way. And so Rachel is first to return to the mill, where Slade is waiting to send her back to town--for there, as he shows her through the spyglass, are the sails and the ""all's well"" flags of the approaching Speedwell. More than previous Obadiah stories, this seems manufactured to order, but it's a strong order and Turkle fills it with his usual loving care. Rachel as pictured is as winning as her brother, and a return visit to Turkle's Nantucket is always a pleasure. --Kirkus Review\nIn the days when Nantucket whaling ships could be away at sea for years at a time, a vessel's safe return was celebrated by all the inhabitants of the island.
