This audiobook features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun that is The Fish of Small Wishes.

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.

Critic reviews

★ "Well suited to reading aloud, this imaginative narrative...glow[s] with warmth and color." -- Booklist, starred review

"A sweet...lesson about finding your voice." -- Kirkus Reviews

"This pleasantly eccentric picture book will remind readers that wishes don’t always require magic to be fulfilled." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB)

"Strokes of gouache...and digital collage, depict a blue-green world bubbling with possibility in this folktale-feeling work." -- Publishers Weekly
