Edition DescriptionNew Edition

SynopsisShawn comes from a long line of island lobstermen. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather have all hauled traps, baited pockets, painted buoys, and cleaned their brushes on the door of the same fish house for decades. To Shawn, it's just a weathered old piece of wood with broken hinges. But when an art dealer comes to visit, he gives Shawn a new perspective on the fish house door, and a fresh look at the people and traditions that have shaped his past and will chart his future. The Fish House Door, illustrated by rising star Astrid Sheckels, won the 2010 Moonbeam Award (Gold Medal) for Best Picture Book in the All Ages category., The late Robert F. Baldwin was a modern day troubadour, singing, playing the banjo, and collecting and telling stories wherever he went. His articles and stories have appeared in numerous magazines. His children's books include This is the Sea That Feeds Us, and Cities Through Time: Beijing. Astrid Sheckels was born and raised in the farming town of Hatfield, Massachusetts. She cannot remember a time when she wasn't listening to, telling, or illustrating stories. Her detailed illustrations give every story more depth and dimension. Astrid's first children's book was the award-winning The Scallop Christmas published by Islandport Press in 2009. She lives, paints, and teaches in western Massachusetts.
