内容简介
Cuffy wants to buy a boat someday and become a fisherman like his father. In
order to earn money, he'll have to do a good business selling his grandma's
deviled crabs. From the Gullah culture of Georgia's beautiful Sea Islands comes
A Net to Catch Time, a warm family story that recounts a day in the life
of a spirited little boy. Follow Cuffy from FIRST FOWL CROW (5:30 in the
morning) when he catches the crabs, to SUN LAY OVER (2:30 in the afternoon) as
Cuffy watches his grandmother prepare them, to CANDLE LIGHT TIME (twilight)
when the island is quiet and the stars come out. Each dazzling spread shows a
new time of day, and each time of day has its own lyrical Gullah name. Scott
Cook's pastels create even more warmth and flavor in lively island hues. A
glossary of Gullah expressions is included.
