Description

A poignant, poetic reflection on a bright and fleeting season, told in the voice of a parent but seen through the eyes and imagination of a child. Lyrical text and magical paintings recount the story of a little girl and her father and mother as they journey by foot and boat through the storybook wonders of the world they share--a world where field and forest and fairy tale blend in a quiet celebration of wonder and love for generations to read aloud, share and delight in together! Written by author, poet & lyricist Douglas Kaine McKelvey (The Angel Knew Papa and the Dog) and illustrated by Jamin Still (Ellen and the Winter Wolves), The Wishes of the Fish King is all about making us "remember, for one wild moment," the wonders of this brief, shared life.
