Description

A girl ventures to the water's edge, envisioning an immersive coexistence with the aquatic wild, when a little red fish interrupts her reverie, and leaps into her life. A dreamlike aura and shades of magical realism flow through this colour-drenched, beautifully rendered wordless picture book ode to friendship, freedom, and the transformative power of letting go.
