A Perfect Day! - Paperback

by Andrew S. Taylor (Author), James G. Martin (Illustrator)

Within these poignant pages, is the origin story of one of my long-lifetime's most outstanding occupations: FISHING! Showing how it's always beyond its best when done with my Dad! I was eight years old, when I caught my first fish. Dad set up, showed, and explained everything. With my success, I was hooked! When I turned a teen, we went to Montana. It was my first "Only-US fishing trip." This is that sweet story.

Author Andrew S. Taylor and Illustrator James G. Martin tenderly tell and soulfully show a time-honored tradition: Father and son going fishing. And just like the movie Field of Dreams inspired countless calls of, "Hello Dad. Do you wanna have a catch?," they hope this book will cast out all its lines and catch hold of all angler hearts all around the world. They hope it inspires grandparents, parents, sons, and daughters to all find time to go fishing together, make magical memories, and ALIVINGLY live as many picturesquely Perfect Days as is pleasantly and positively possible!
