1. With a spark of imagination Rosa’s boredom is cured as she enters into an enchanting story intertwined with the small fish who decides to jump into her skirt and into the hearts of everyone it comes into contact with. The watercolor illustrations capture the feeling one would expect from a small Mexican village. As the little fish continues to grow so does the story incorporating aspects of food, religion, commerce, and culture if not embedded in the text them demonstrated more subtly in the illustrations.

2. Sanne te Loo mixes a sweet tale of fantasy, with beautiful watercolor illustrations in the story Little Fish. Rosa is bored and doesn’t have anything to do when she wanders down to the beach, only to have a little fish leap into her lap. Rosa becomes fascinated with taking care of little fish, and boredom soons fades away. The striking illustrations of Rosa’s culture make these pictures jump off the page, and gives a glimpse into Rosa’s everyday life. A charming story about friendship and how love can grow the most unusual things!
