Description

This is the extraordinary story of an ordinary little boy called George.

George is lonely – until his mum brings home a tiny and unremarkable goldfish.

But as his new friend grows . . . and grows . . . and grows, George realises that the goldfish might not be so ordinary after all.

From the award-winning creator of Leaves and The Station Cat comes a magical, transformational story about friendship, loneliness and what it means to love another creature. Utterly uplifting and luminous, it's perfect for fans of David Litchfield, Sidney Smith and Benji Davies.

Full of heart and packed with stunning, radiant artwork, Goldfish is a modern classic in the making.
