A Net to Catch Time

A Net to Catch Time by Banks, Sara Harrell. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780679866732.

Cuffy wants to buy a boat someday and become a fisherman like his father. In order to earn money, hell have to do a good business selling his grandmas deviled crabs. From the Gullah culture of Georgias 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 Cooks pastels create even more warmth and flavor in lively island hues. A glossary of Gullah expressions is included.
