from the New Yorker to FISH
Liam Francis Walsh: I’m a cartoonist, writer, and illustrator, originally from northern Wisconsin. I grew up on a dairy farm with lots of siblings and books and a pet crow. Now I live in the Italian part of Switzerland. My cartoons appear in The New Yorker magazine pretty frequently, and my first children’s book is available now!
A boy and his dog embark on a fishing journey.
Their first catch of the day: a big fat letter F.
Their second? A slippery I.
After an epic journey beneath the lake’s surface, they find what they came for– a FISH, along with some unanticipated menace from a few other letters.
This clever, wordless picture book, by a popular New Yorker cartoonist, is filled with charm and heart and will have no problem swimming its way into the hearts of young readers.
