Description
The Girl Who Became A Fish by Polly Ho-Yen tells the story of Ita, a young girl who is afraid of many things. She's afraid of talking to her classmates at her new school, afraid of walking through her new town, and most of all, she is afraid of water.
When she discovers that the river in her new town can transform her into a fish, she is compelled to confront her fears. Through this magical journey, she learns invaluable lessons about courage and family. Can her experiences help bring her family together again?
This beautifully-written early reader deftly addresses themes of change and fear, making it an engaging read for younger audiences. Accompanied by charming artwork from Sojung Kim-McCarthy, The Girl Who Became A Fish is a heart-warming tale that captivates and inspires.
