"Fishin' Jimmy" by Annie Trumbull Slosson Jimmy is admired for his rough familiarity with the natural world. Kind to children and animals, fishing is his favorite way to get in touch with nature. Though he spends most of his time away from people, he takes his faith seriously and is known as a joyous man who is ready to spread the gospel to all those who will listen. Though the book has religious overtones, it's a charming story that allows readers to peek at a simpler time.
For two boys in a Japanese American family, everything changed when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States went to war. With the family forced to leave their home and go to an internment camp, Jimmy loses his appetite. Older brother Taro takes matters into his own hands and, night after night, sneaks out of the camp and catches fresh fish for Jimmy to help make him strong again. This affecting tale of courage and love is an adaptation of the author's true family story, and includes a letter to readers with more information about the historical background and inspiration.
