Official synopsis Publisher
Little Fish lost his mother
where was she, where was she?
Little Fish lost his mother, yes, he did!
Even though readers can spot Little Fish’s mother on every spread — if they look hard enough — he cannot. Young children will eagerly join him on his search up, down, and all around an African watering hole, where animals like hippo, okapi, turtle, and crayfish live. And they’ll celebrate the joyful finale — the long-awaited mother and child reunion.
Once again, Nancy Van Laan has brilliantly done what she does best: created a wonderfully engaging and rhythmic read-aloud for the youngest child. Jane Conteh-Morgan’s clever, vibrant illustrations perfectly complement the heartfelt story.
