Overview

<p><i>A hilarious read with an important message</i></p> <p>A humble fisherman is taking a nap in his boat when a tourist interrupts him. The outspoken tourist points out that instead of napping, the fisherman could go out and catch more fish, which would eventually earn him enough money to buy a proper motor-boat. The tourist continues to embellish his idea, envisioning canneries, restaurants, and private helicopters. But the fisherman has his own ideas about what success looks like.</p> <p>With comic-like illustrations that emphasize the story's humor, this funny and thoughtful book will inspire readers to celebrate life's simple pleasures and enjoy the here and now. </p>
