The Oregon Kids: The Big Catch

A story about fishing, family, and the gift of putting others first.

Reading together is one of the most powerful things a parent and child can share — and The Big Catch makes that time even more meaningful. Written by Bob Richley, this charming picture book follows Billy and Autumn, a brother and sister on a fishing adventure that becomes a lesson in selflessness and love.

At the start, Billy only cares about one thing: catching the biggest fish. His little sister Autumn feels like a burden. But by the end of the story, something changes in Billy's heart — and he makes a choice that will stick with young readers long after the last page.
