Illustrated by
Diana Wege.
Bahamian girl Flossie wants to go fishing with a legendary man who usually guides only tourists. Her mother finally agrees, and she spends a day learning how to catch--and release--"the fastest and boniest fish in the water." This quietly nostalgic story (Howard knew the real "Bonefish Joe"), accompanied by serene, detailed paintings, captures the natural beauty and local flavor of Harbour Island.
