Torch Fishing with the Sun

32 pp. | Boyds | January, 1999 | Trade ISBN 1-56397-685-4 $$15.95
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Fabricio Vanden Broeck. Each afternoon Makoa's grandfather canoes out to the horizon to catch the sun in his net, enabling the torch fishers on shore "to attract fish to their spears." When another boy casts doubt on his grandfather's ability to "pull the sun from the sky," Makoa decides to "believe in things [he] cannot see." Luminous pastels, good for sharing in a group, add drama and atmosphere to the well-paced story.
