Fish for the Grand Lady

32 pp. | Holiday | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8234-1898-7 $16.95
(3) K-3 Brothers Colly and Derrick go fishing to get their grandmother, "Grand Lady," a fish, in this story set in Trinidad, the Caribbean island where the author grew up. Throughout, the dialogue is written in dialect, adding to the rhythm but making a potentially awkward first read (a glossary is included at the end). The dark, lush, realistic paintings exude the warmth of the island.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
