About Astrid And Apollo And The Fishing Flop
Product Description It's the twins' first time fishing. Astrid and Apollo can't wait to ride on their Uncle Lue's fast boat and get goofy pictures with all the fish they catch. But Apollo keeps catching things that are not fish! When a storm brings them to shore, Apollo starts to feel like he's a fishing failure. Can the twins turn the day around and help Apollo find the fun in fishing? Book Description Hmong characters are rarely included in children’s literature and have never been featured as protagonists in chapter books; Debut author V.T. Bidania is a rising talent, having been chosen as a Loft Literary Center Mirrors and Windows fellow; Astrid and Apollo's twin relationship is delightful, honest, and warm; Not many twin chapter book series in the market, and this friendship will speak to readers of all ages About the Author V.T. Bidania was born in Laos and grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota. She spent most of her childhood writing stories and now that she’s an adult, she is thrilled to be writing stories for children. She has an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from The New School and is a recipient of the Loft Literary Center’s Mirrors & Windows Fellowship. She lives outside of the Twin Cities with her family. Dara Lashia Lee is a Hmong American illustrator based in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. She utilizes digital media to create semi-real illustrations ranging from Japanese anime and western cartoon styles. Her Hmong-inspired illustrations were displayed at the Qhia Dab Neeg (Storytelling) touring exhibit from 2015 to 2018. When she’s not drawing, she likes to travel, take silly photos of her cat, and drink bubble tea.
