Cast: 4m, 3f. 520 $a The story of The Yellow Boat is an affirmation of a child's life and the strength and courage of all children. This dramatization is based on the true story of David and Sonja Saar's son, Benjamin, who was born with congenital hemophilia and died in 1987 at the age of 8 of AIDS-related complications. A uniquely gifted visual artist, Benjamin's buoyant imagination transformed his physical and emotional pain into a colors and shapes in his fanciful drawings and paintings. A Scandinavian folksong tells of three little boats: "One was blue, one was red and one was yellow as the sun. They sailed far out to sea. The blue one returned to the harbor. The red one sailed home, too. But the yellow boat sailed up to the sun." Benjamin always concluded his bedtime ritual by saying, "Mom, you can be the red boat or the blue boat, but I am the yellow boat.â $c Back cover. 541 $d 20230501. 586 $a American Alliance for Theatre and Education Distinguished Play Award winner. 650 $a Terminal illness $v Drama. 650 7 $a Child artists $v Drama. 650 7 $a Parent-child relationships $v Drama. 650 $a Terminally ill children $v Drama. 655 4 $a Juvenile drama. 941 $a 1 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20231121011050.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C22C6016883B11EEBC107B3452ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
