Sunrise Summer by Matthew Swanson
It's summer, so a young girl and her family are heading on their annual trip to Alaska where she usually plays with her younger brothers, jumping on the bluff and searching for critters on the shore. But this year, she joins her mother's salmon-fishing crew. Being a part of the crew is a big responsibility, and though the girl may fall down, she is now part of a team that helps her get back up. This unique picture book explores the small but momentous first step toward independence, empowering readers to take on new challenges and gain confidence along the way. The story is inspired by the author and illustrator's annual salmon-fishing trip to Alaska. Readers will be fascinated by the details of a commercial salmon-fishing operation in the illustrated back matter.
Author/illustrator and husband/wife duo Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr spend all day, every day, making stuff together, including the Real McCoys series and their picture books Everywhere, Wonder and Babies Ruin Everything. In addition to speaking and leading workshops on collaboration and creative entrepreneurship, raising four small children, and fishing commercially for sockeye salmon on the Alaskan tundra each summer, Matthew and Robbi work from the hayloft of their home/barn/studio on the eastern shore of Maryland.
