Illustrated by Shane W. Evans. Reenie and her mama love to go fishing down by the river, but the peace of their idyllic fishing spot is often marred by the appearance of Peter Troop and his daddy. Peter and his daddy are fishing for food; Reenie and Mama fish for fun. The Troops are white; Reenie and Mama are black. And in the Jim Crow South, it is this last difference that is most significant. One day, when the Troops' fishing reel breaks, Reenie overcomes their mutual fear and mistrust to help Peter - an act that holds the promise of friendship and understanding. african-american,children's,children's books,difficult discussions,friendship social skills and school life,geography and cultures,growing up and facts of life,literature and fiction,multicultural stories,multiculturalism Sports & Outdoors, Hyperion Books for Children<
