"This Is A Poem That Heals Fish is a rare little miracle of a book. It manages the brilliant trick of explaining the abstract concept of a 'poem' to a child through the simple but effective art of demonstration. The book itself is a perfectly constructed poem."- posterband.com "Exuding magic and unbridled creativity on every page, this is a book with the potential to heal more than just fish." - Publishers Weekly "An enchantingly abstract invitation to ponder poetry." - Kirkus Reviews "A great book for any age!
