About the book
Fishin'
"A radiant and wondrous story about how a single moment of connection can change our wildest dreams. Every page sings, surprises, and delights." --Andrea Wang, Newbery Honor-winning author of Watercress
"Fishin' is a quietly beautiful book about empathy and mercy: the kind a river teaches, slowly, to anyone willing to sit beside it. Elliott and Colón let a child arrive there on his own, without a lesson waiting at the end, and that is the rarest kind of respect a picture book can offer." --Jordan Scott, internationally acclaimed poet and author of I Talk Like a River
"Let's go fishin', you said. I want to catch a fish.
So, we walked through the woods to Jacobson's stream to catch a fish as big and as wild, you said, as your biggest and wildest dream."
With rods in hand and hearts set on reeling in the biggest fish, a sister leads her younger brother on a long walk to their fishing spot. Time stretches as they wait, the world settling into soft, patient rhythms around them. At last, a fish is caught—but in the stillness that follows, the younger brother pauses. Seeing the fish up close, he feels a flicker of something unexpected.
From award-winning creators David Elliott and Raul Colón and inspired by Elizabeth Bishop’s “The Fish”, here is a lyrical and poignant story about siblings in search of a fish only to discover that sometimes letting go is the most meaningful part of the journey.
