Synopsis
Early in the blue-black morning, a father and son slip out of the house with their fishing poles and a can of worms. But this is no ordinary fishing trip. With their lines and bobbers, they cast high into the air to catch the breeze, the sky, the sun, and best of all — some wonderful memories.
In her first picture book, Sharon Creech, author of the Newbery Medal winner Walk Two Moons, teams up with Caldecott Honor artist Chris Raschka to create a beautifully lyrical and richly imagined tale about the powerful bond between a father and son.
Publishers Weekly
"Author and artist are as inextricably linked as the father and son they portray in this moving meditation on the importance of memories and tradition," wrote PW in our Best Books citation. Ages 4-8. (Apr.)
