About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to slow down and deepen your emotional bond with a child through the simple act of shared presence. It is a perfect choice for those quiet Saturday mornings or bedtime routines when you want to nurture a child's sense of wonder and encourage them to look beneath the surface of the everyday world. Through the lens of a father and son's fishing trip, the story explores how memories and imagination can transform a landscape. While the book follows a literal journey to a secret fishing hole, the true heart of the narrative lies in the conversations between generations. Sharon Creech uses rhythmic, poetic language to show how a parent can pass down not just skills, but a way of seeing the world with gratitude and creativity. It is an ideal read for children aged 4 to 8, offering a gentle model for how to communicate love and family history without needing grand gestures.
