 Sam, Fisherwoman: The Reel Story
by Maggie Kemp
illustrated by Melody Russell
Sam is one spirited little girl convinced that she can do big
things without anybody’s help, even her big brothers. So she
sets out to prove it, showing she’s a real fisherwoman early one
summer morning at her family’s lake cottage. Readers will
thrill at each step of Sam’s mission. When things seem to go
awry, families will cheer for Sam as she faces each new hurdle
with a can-do attitude. But will this spunky little girl catch
her fish? Described as “visual haiku,” Melody Zahn Russell’s potato
prints embody Sam’s story beautifully, grounding it in the
adventures of a life on the water.
