My Father's Boat

34 pp. | Scholastic | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-590-47867-2
(4) K-3 The lives of three generations of fishermen in Vietnam and America are woven together in a story narrated by a Vietnamese-American boy out on his father's shrimp boat. Though occasionally more poetic than realistic, the text is simple and lyrical. Watercolors depicting the expanse of the sea evoke the unity of the one fishing family, even though distance and history has kept them far apart.
