The Fish House Door
Robert F BaldwinHardback 2010-08-01
Publisher Description
Shawn comes from a long line of island lobstermen. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather have all hauled traps, baited pockets, painted buoys, and cleaned their brushes on the door of the same fish house for decades. To Shawn, it's just a weathered old piece of wood with broken hinges. But when an art dealer comes to visit, he gives Shawn a new perspective on the fish house door, and a fresh look at the people and traditions that have shaped his past and will chart his future. The Fish House Door, illustrated by rising star Astrid Sheckels, won the 2010 Moonbeam Award (Gold Medal) for Best Picture Book in the All Ages category.
