(3) K-3 Illustrated by Renné Benoit. Although "girls can't fish" in her Filipino village, Nina persuades her grandfather to take her fishing with him and watches closely as Lolo shows her what to do. She waits patiently and finally triumphs, landing a big fish. Repetition in the lively prose conveys the steady rhythm of the craft ("hand over hand, fish after fish"). Simple illustrations in muted blues and greens complement this empowering story.
