A Great book with beautiful illustrations. A young Vietnamese boy accompanies his father one early morning on a fishing trip. This fishing trip is not for fun but to put dinner on the table for that night. Dad shares his memories about fishing at a different pond in Vietnam. While it is hard for a five year old to grasp the themes of war and displacement, it was quite easy for her to relate to a kid spending time with her father and the family gathering around the living table.
