Description

A child goes fishing with her funny grandfather but, unlike others, she has trouble catching a fish.

When Evie is with Grandpa all she wants is to catch a fish. Grandpa knows that fishing isn't easy and answers Evie's curious questions with silly seaside stories. Evie doesn't give up, and just as raindrops drip down, she pulls in something even better than a fish. This beautifully written story with lyrical language celebrates the special relationship between grandparents and children.
