LILY LEADS THE WAY is a cute picture book about a small boat. Lily is excited to meet the tall ships on the lake, but to get there, she'll need to get under the bridge. As she tries to make her way, large ships push her out. She manages to slip through and just in time - the tall ships are here! She then leads the way back through under the bridge.

What I loved: This is a sweet story about exciting, finding your place, and patience. Lily's struggles to get under the bridge will resonate with young readers who know the feeling of being too little. As she makes it through and then leads the way, young children will celebrate with her. The illustrations are lush and capture Lily, her emotions, and the sea so well.

The font is large and easy to read throughout, great for reading aloud, with the length working well for preschool and elementary school aged readers. The author's note at the end talks about bridges and the ways boats used to communicate, which adds a nice educational touch to the story.

Final verdict: An adorable story of finding your way and overcoming the odds, LILY LEADS THE WAY is a charming picture book with lush illustrations and an educational touch.
