This Is a Poem That Heals Fish

"Every once in a while, you stumble upon something so lovely, so unpretentiously beautiful and quietly profound, that you feel like the lungs of your soul have been pumped with a mighty gasp of Alpine air. This Is a Poem That Heals Fish (public library) is one such vitalizing gasp of loveliness -- a lyrical picture-book that offers a playful and penetrating answer to the question of what a poem is and what it does. And as it does that, it shines a sidewise gleam on the larger question of what we most hunger for in life and how we give shape to those deepest longings."--Maria Popova, Brain Pickings

"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! At this very moment, it feels like one of the best books I've ever bought!" - A Year of Reading

"A wonderfully sensitive seek-and-find experience for all of us." --Vermont Country Sampler
