If Fishes Had Wishes and Birds Had Words

The power of this little book is not in the plot; It has no plot. The power of it is in the images and the words that go with them. The text translates the illustrations into simple life lessons in a childs daily experience like sharing, listening, being alone, being kind. For example the girl holding the bird saying its okay to be sad sometimesthe thought helps to clarify emotions that we share with animals too. The beauty of this book is in its simple celebration of life concerns and connections.
