5.0 out of 5 stars
A universal lesson rooted in the particular,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fishing Sunday (Hardcover)
Without being preachy, Tony Johnston reminds us that sometimes it takes a shift in perspective to recognize our treasures. Uri Shulevitz did this with THE TREASURE, another book of great loveliness. Children may respond even more to this universal lesson through reading Johnston's book, which is rooted in the life of one young Japanese American boy learning to love and appreciate his grandfather. The details in this book are so lovingly, tenderly included, and Barry Root's watercolor/gouache illustrations complement Johnston's spare, lyrical prose beautifully. This exquisite book goes beyond the 4 to 8 crowd. It touched the hearts of all my family - teenager included. I've yet to read it without feeling tears -- or wanting to kick off my shoes. You'll have to read FISHING SUNDAY to find out what that means
