Description

Now with a brand new foreword from New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Zaslow. FIRST YOU HAVE TO ROW A LITTLE BOAT first hit shelves in the mid 1990s and has been inspiring readers ever since.

This refurbished edition will find a place in the hearts of a whole new generation of readers.… (more)
