Reviews for Skyfishing: A Grand Tale with Grandpa

A sweet tale of how the power of play helps an elder adjust to a new life. * Kirkus * A magical picture book that sweetly portrays intergenerational love and imagination. * School Library Journal * Bernatene’s rich, energetic scenes are full of comical details to discover, and the vibrant brushstroke spreads and old-fashioned fishing advertisements on the inner title pages add to the story’s whimsy. * Booklist *
