Synopsis

100% of The Late Show’s proceeds from this book go to disaster relief.

Whose Boat Is This Boat? Comments That Don’t Help in the Aftermath of a Hurricane is a picture book made entirely of quotations from President Donald Trump in the wake of Hurricane Florence. It is the first children’s book that demonstrates what not to say after a natural disaster.

On September 19, 2018, Donald Trump paid a visit to New Bern, North Carolina, one of the towns ravaged by Hurricane Florence. It was there he showed deep concern for a boat that washed ashore. “At least you got a nice boat out of the deal,” said President Trump to hurricane victims. “Have a good time!” he told them. The only way his comments would be appropriate is in the context of a children’s book—and now you can experience them that way, thanks to the staff of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Whose Boat Is This Boat? is an excellent teaching tool for readers of all ages who enjoy learning about empathy by process of elimination. Have a good time!

PS: Just fondly recalling our deeply human former President, imagining how he might handle the crises of the present and future were he to be re-elected. Recommend you all check it out, but it won't be pleasant. "At least you got a nice boat out of the deal." - Donald J. Trump, speaking to a victim of......more

Goodreads review by Jon on November 05, 2022

Interesting touchstone book that illustrates the wide disconnect between the public an all politicians. It is clear that there is a widening gap between the people and their elected officials; this gap seems to be widening with each election cycle. There is a visceral feeling that 'the ties that bin......more

Goodreads review by Kathleen on November 08, 2018

It's silly and sobering at the me time, like politics these days. It's a fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Florence. I hope this becomes a series where sound bites are formed into children's books that raise money. It's a great way to turn words that help no one, into donations that will help some......more

Goodreads review by Rod on January 09, 2019

Too sad to be funny, and maybe the execution was a little too rushed. It's not well drawn, and some of the pictures make very little sense.......more
