A Season for Fishin' : A Fish Fry Tradition

Hardcover

Synopsis

A vibrant debut picture book full of fishing, summertime traditions, delicious food, and intergenerational family memories that last a lifetime -- inspired by the author's upbringing in Louisiana.

On the first Fish Fry Friday, Cher wakes before sunrise. It’s the start of the fishing season and her wish is coming true: she’s finally big enough to join her papere on Ol’ Cane River! She can’t wait to catch a mess of bream for Mamere to fry up for the evening feast.

Fishing pole in hand, Cher races to the prized spot down on Ol’ Cane. With wrigglers on the line and her cousins giggling in approval, she reels in batch after batch of bream. But when things don’t go as planned, Cher learns the true importance of Fish Fry Friday and it’s not the big catch . . . Cher is part of tradition. It’s her season of fishin’.

Perfect for fans of Kelly Starling Lyons’ GOING DOWN HOME WITH DADDY, this is a lyrical picture book that’s sure to bring to mind tasty childhood memories for readers young and old.
