The Big Fish: An Alaskan Fairy Tale
This book tells a fictional, fantastical story about a girl from an Alaska Native community who dreams of catching a very large King Salmon. Instead, she embarks on an adventure with the King Salmon and learns about the power of believing in yourself.
Lena is disappointed because she can't achieve her dream - to catch a hugh Alaskan king salmon. She is guided by an elder to a magic river where she hooks the Big Fish who pulls her underwater where she learns several lessons. Illustrated in brilliant stylized paintings reminiscent of Eastern European children's art
