Fishing in the Air

by Sharon Creech
Illustrated by Chris Raschka

One Potato Review

No fish are caught or otherwise exploited in the making of this book, in fact here is a story about the very best reasons to go on any sort of trip at all, regardless the pretext. These travelers happen to be a boy and his father (and the memories of his father before him) but the ebullience in this book is contagious, no matter your role in your family. Chris Raschka is one of the great and completely original illustrators of our time, and here he has the currents of wind and river and Sharon Creech to accompany him. They sing.
