"Fishin' Jimmy" by Annie Trumbull Slosson is a heartwarming story set in the late 1800s, painting a picture of Jimmy, an old fisherman whose life is all about peace and faith. Located in New Hampshire's Franconia Valley, the narrative, as told through a storyteller's memories, highlights how Jimmy sees fishing as more than just a hobby; it's his guide for living. He uses his time by the river to teach kids about being kind, loving nature, and having faith. Even though he didn't go to school, Jimmy is full of knowledge, talking about life and God in ways that make everyone think. The book shows how much the town respects him, especially because he wants to help people find faith, just like he finds fish—thinking back on his life with sweet stories that show how much he loves people and the world around him, reminding everyone of the goodness in simple living.
