NOTES

Fall in love with a modern fairy tale inspired by a Jewish family memory in this magical picture book by award-winning picture book creators Elana K. Arnold and Magdalena Mora. Fall in love with a modern fairy tale inspired by a Jewish family memory in this magical picture book by award-winning picture book creators Elana K. Arnold and Magdalena Mora. Once, there was a girl named Kiki, who found a fish on the asphalt. The fish was very hot and very dry. But when Kiki put it in the bathtub, it started swimming, and growing, and . . . speaking? "I want to grant you a wish for saving me," it said. A wish-granting fish! Alas, this fish was only a fish of small wishes, and Kiki's wish was too big. Unless . . . there was a way for both their dreams to come true. Follow Kiki and the wish-granting fish in this contemporary fairy-tale perfect for fans of A Big Mooncake for Little Star and Carmela Full of Wishes. Elana K. Arnold is the author of critically acclaimed and award-winning young adult novels and children's books, including the Starla Jean series and Pip and Zip. She lives in Southern California with her family and a menagerie of pets. Magdalena Mora is a Minneapolis-based artist and graphic designer. She's illustrated Costantia Manoli's Tomatoes in My Lunchbox, Jackie Azúa Kramer's I Wish You Knew, and Deborah Diesen's Equality's Call. When not drawing, Magdalena likes reading, people-gawking, and trying to find the best tacos in the Twin Cities. Mostly the latter. ★ "Well suited to reading aloud, this imaginative [s] with warmth and color." -- Booklist, starred review "A about finding your voice." -- Kirkus Reviews "This pleasantly eccentric picture book will remind readers that wishes don't always require magic to be fulfilled." -- BCCB "Strokes of digital collage, depict a blue-green world bubbling with possibility in this folktale-feeling work." -- Publishers Weekly
