When the humpback fish becomes unwell, the long-nosed doctor fish says he needs the red medicinal algae which grow at the end of the devil's ravine to make him better. Rainbow Fish volunteers to go and find the algae against the advice of the others, who warn of the dangers he may encounter, but his friend, the little blue fish, says he'll go with him. See how the two friends overcome their fear together and achieve their mission in order to help the humpback fish get better again.
Marcus Pfister lives in Switzerland. He studied art in Berne, and has been a graphic designer and illustrator since leaving college. He worked in Zurich for two years before touring Canada, the USA and Mexico. He is the author and illustrator of many books for North-South, including Penguin Pete, Milo and the Magical Stones and The Sleepy Owl. His style is characterised by the use of simple shapes with soft outlines. The glittering Rainbow Fish is his most popular creation.
