When their boat is suddenly and irreversibly transformed, three friends concoct a creative way to live out their wildest imaginations. As whimsical as it is ultimately touching, "Three Men in a Boat" is a book for anyone who has lost someone. As the men journey across the globe and back home again, it reminds us that no one is ever truly gone, when they live on in the hearts of those they've left behind.

"Three Men in a Boat" is the second collaboration between author Christina Capatides and illustrator Ryan Bauer-Walsh. Their first children's book, "Rusty the Rescue", was published in 2014 and is meant to introduce young readers to the plight of shelter animals and the beauty of adoption. 

In addition to being a children's book author, Christina Capatides is a senior producer at CBS News. She has written hundreds of articles on topics ranging from politics and sports to entertainment and human interest. She has also produced and edited three CBSN Originals documentaries: "Gender: The Space Between," "Thicker Than Water" and "Portland: Race Against the Past." Before her time at CBS, Christina worked for Good Morning America, World News with Diane Sawyer, and The Mutt-i-grees Curriculum through Yale University. She holds a BA in English from Georgetown University and an MFA in musical theater writing from NYU.
