The Strangest Fish

When Daisy wins a funny-looking goldfish at a fair, she ignores the mean comments about its appearance. She doesn’t mind the dull scales and lumpy head — in fact, she thinks her goldfish is the prettiest thing in the world. However, as Daisy continues caring for the goldfish, something strange starts happening to it...

In this bewitching picture book debut from bestselling fantasy author Katherine Arden, creator of Small Spaces and The Bear and the Nightingale, a girl's acceptance and love for an odd-looking goldfish becomes the beginning of a wondrous adventure. With lyrical writing and stunning illustrations, this enchanting story about a girl and her goldfish reveals — with a touch of magic — the transformative power of unconditional love and care.

Description

"Arden’s lyrical, conversational text emphasizes the strong bond between Daisy and her new pet despite their limited time together; she makes clear that caring for another living being can alter us forever. With thick brushstrokes and a cool palette dominated by blues and browns, Marwan’s stunning pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations capture this unconditional nurturing bond, the concept of metamorphosis, and the transformative nature of autumn.... A deeply empathetic look at the magic of love and compassion." — Kirkus Reviews
