Publisher's Synopsis

  • Mark Hume is an award-winning environmental journalist for The Globe and Mail and author of four books, including Trout School: Lessons from a Fly-Fishing Master and the critically acclaimed River of the Angry Moon: Seasons on the Bella Coola, which won the Roderick-Haig Brown Prize.
  • A heart-warming story of fatherhood, family and the importance of reconnecting and healing through nature: Reading the Water is an illuminating story about the relationship between father and daughters, and how connecting with nature can help one grow, heal, and overcome challenges and fears.
  • The perfect gift for #GirlDads everywhere: #GirlDad started as a tribute to commemorate the death of Kobe Bryant, but the viral movement has since inspired proud fathers across the globe to celebrate the loving and powerful bond between father and daughter. 
  • Hopeful story of raising kids during a climate crisis: Mark Hume's goal for introducing his daughters to fishing was to give them a strong connection to nature that would help guide them and give them hope in the face of a mounting climate crisis.
