About the Book Davon Goes Fishing at the Big Green Yucky Lake, by new children’s writer, Deborah Godwin-Starks is a wonderful story told through the eyes of her three-year old grandson. While visiting his grandparents’ farm, Davon asks his grandpa to take him fishing. He is eager to go on this adventure though he has never been fishing before. When he gets to the lake he is surprised to find that it is not at all what he expected. He is challenged by many of the scenes and sounds he sees and hears on this exploration. However, with patience, endurance, and lots of encouragement from his grandpa, he learns many of life’s lessons on letting go, being brave in the face of adversity, and learning to be comfortable in different surroundings. Davon Goes Fishing at the Big Green Yucky Lake is illustrated by talent Chicago artist, Seitu Hayden, who takes the story as told by a three-year old and turns it into a masterpiece of the spoken world with illustrations.
