A young girl sees a big fish all alone in the ocean, crying. A moment later, she sees a lot of small fish locked up inside books at the bookstore, also crying. What’s going on? And how can she help them? Lying awake in her bed at night, she comes up with a plan. Inspired by seeing thousands of animals locked up inside picture books at the Children’s Book Fair in Bologna, The Girl and the Fish is a story about releasing animals from books. But it is also a metaphor for setting free anything that is kept in boxes: animals, people, dreams — especially if it requires secretly climbing out of your bedroom window at night to break into a bookstore.
