Author Anika Fajardo shares tips on how to start your own writer’s journal and reads from What If a Fish, a heartwarming tale of family, fishing, and figuring out where you belong. Eleven-year-old Eddie Aguado—the book’s main character—is determined to win the same fishing contest that his dad won before he passed away.
