GoWild Down by the River - Children's Book
GoWild Down by the River - Children's Book, Every copy will be signed by the author, Andrew Weiner.One beautiful autumn day, Art sets out with his mother and grandfather for a fishing trip. Fishing days are Art's favorite. He loves learning the ropes from Grandpa-the different kinds of flies and tackle and the trout that frequent their favorite river. Art especially appreciates Grandpa's stories. However, this time, hearing the story about Mom's big catch on her first cast ever makes Art feel insecure about his own fishing skills.But, as Art hooks a beautiful brown trout, he finds reassurance in Grandpa's stories and marvels in the sport and a day spent with family, promising to continue the tradition with his own grandkids generations later.This is a beautiful book; fun and informative to read, lovely to look at and simple enough for kids without being simplistic. I'd recommend it to children with an interest in fly-fishing or to parents who'd like to spark that interest. For that matter, I'd also recommend it to some of my more extreme fly-fishing friends for its humble, humane view of a sport that sometimes gets too fast-paced and competitive.- John Gierach, bestselling author of A Fly Rod of Your OwnAuthor Andrew Weiner and artist April Chu have produced a book that could help whet the appetite of youngsters you hope will share your love for fly fishing. Down by the River, released this week by Abrams Books, is a beautiful book documenting a day of fishing by a young boy named Art, his mother and his grandfather.- Trout Unlimited
