Bookseller recommendation

“Katherine Arden’s debut picture book is a whimsical story of friendship and care. A girl named Daisy brings home a fish named October, and the strangest thing happens: October just grows and grows, and grows some more. Zahra Marwan’s beautiful illustrations bring Daisy and October to life with their joyous expressions in colorful landscapes. This deceptively simple story has all the hallmarks of a classic in the making, one kids will remember fondly for years.”
— Jocelyn • Bookshop Santa Cruz

Summary

Daisy’s favorite month is October. She loves the woodsmoke, pumpkins, cider, and most importantly, the fair. This year, after winning a carnival game, she’s given a fish to take home as her prize.

Her fish has funny-looking scales and too many fins. But Daisy loves and cares for her fish unconditionally—even when it starts growing into something completely unexpected … and magical.

From New York Times bestselling author Katherine Arden, The Strangest Fish is a modern fable of love, magic, and metamorphosis that will encourage readers to embrace the unexpected.
