Fishing in the Air

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, Newbery Medalist Creech creates a moving, lyrical portrait of the bonds between a father and a son, complemented by full-color illustrations by Caldecott Medal winner Raschka.
