From the moment they first pack the car with their fishing poles, a sack of sandwiches, and a can of crawly worms, a father and son set off on a journey of boundless imagination. Inspired by his father’s creative view of things (trees that look like soldiers, clouds that look like angels, etc.) and by his father’s childhood memories, the boy soon begins to see the whole world in front of him, dangling from his fishing line. Chagall-like illustrations form decorative frames around a lyrical text about a shared journey between father and son. (Ages 4-8)

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, Sharon Creech, author of the Newbery Medal winner Walk Two Moons, teams up with Caldecott Honor artist Chris Raschka to create a beautifully lyrical and richly imagined tale about the powerful bond between a father and son.
