A beautiful book about freedom, self-determination, courage and power, it's about a little fish who dares to swim against the tide....

Reviews

The Little Black Fish is among Tiny Owls first offerings. Its a book is about freedom, confinement, human possibility. Like all the best picture books, it is both simple and profound. Perhaps, says the little black fish, there is more to life, and perhaps the world is more than our stream! Its a message for us all. This is a book that has been read and loved for generations in Iran, and at last the little black fish has swum to our shores. -- David Almond
