Grand story

Coretta Scott King Honor-winning artist, Colin Bootman, tells a story of his childhood in Trinidad in this beautifully illustrated book. Colin and his big brother, Derrick, want desperately to catch some fish for their loving grandmother, "The Grand Lady". The dialogue, written in the native vernacular, would be difficult for youngsters. An adult reading, with the right flourish, would be delightful. An Author's Note helps with the Trinidadian dialect.
