When Keet starts school, it's even worse than she expected, as the kids tease her about her southern accent. Now Keet, who can \"talk the whiskers off a catfish,\" doesn't want to open her mouth. While fishing with her grandfather, she learns the art of listening and gradually, she makes her first new friend. But just as she's beginning to settle in, her grandfather has a stroke, and even though he's still nearby, he suddenly feels ever-so-far-away. Keet is determined to reel him back to her by telling him stories; in the process she finds her voice and her grandfather again.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJanice Harrington\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the picture books \u003ci\u003eGoing North\u003c\/i\u003e (Ezra Jack Keats Award winner), \u003ci\u003e The Chicken-Chasing Queen of Lamar County\u003c\/i\u003e (an ALA Notable Book), and \u003ci\u003eBusy-Busy Little Chick\u003c\/i\u003e.
