Description

A Different Pond by Bao Phi is a powerful and honest story about the relationship between a father and son, and between cultures. It's a simple yet unforgettable tale about a fishing trip that took place early one morning. As a young boy, Bao woke up hours before his father's long workday began to fish on the shores of a small pond in Minneapolis. Unlike many other anglers, they fished for food, not recreation. Between hope-filled casts, Bao's father told him about a different pond in their homeland of Vietnam. The combination of expertly crafted prose and striking art has earned this powerful picture book six starred reviews. Thi Bui's evocative illustrations bring the story to life, making A Different Pond a worthwhile read for our times.
