About this listen

Eight-year-old Owen may not be able to speak, but he has a voice in ways no one expects. Born with cerebral palsy, he dreams of building a toy boat from the wood of a tree struck by lightning, believing it will carry a special kind of magic. With the help of his family and friends, he creates a small but mighty vessel—one destined for adventure.

As the boat, named O, begins its journey down the river, something incredible happens: O can think, speak, and share his thoughts with Owen through a magical telepathic bond. Together, they navigate the unpredictable waters of both the river and life, encountering kind strangers, mischievous animals, and unexpected obstacles.

But as O floats further away, heading toward the vast ocean, Owen must face the bittersweet reality of letting go. Full of heart, wonder, and the power of connection, Owen’s Boat is a touching tale of friendship, independence, and the magic found in chasing your dreams.
