A Season for Fishin’ is a joyous debut picture book by Pamela Courtney full of fishing, summertime traditions, and delicious food – inspired by the author’s intergenerational and multicultural Louisiana upbringing.
There’s a rush in the water.Ripples sway,
back and forth,
back and forth.
Sounds like Fish Fry Friday. On the first Fish Fry Friday of the year, 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 River. Wrigglers wiggle on the line. Cousins giggle as a sign of approval as Cher 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 . . . Plates clatter.
Kinfolk gather.
Cher is part of tradition. It’s her season of fishin’.
