The Fish that wanted to Fly. – Little Wing Puppets

Did you ever dream of doing something that seemed impossible? A little fish’s lagoon is drying up. All the other fish have left for the ocean, and she wants to learn how to fly so she can see them again. But can she make it?

Her friend, a hermit crab named Karramoko, sits by a stormwater drain and tells her it will never happen. She meets a kingfisher who helps her and encourages her to keep trying. It’s not until she meets a cormorant who offers to take her up into the sky that she flies for the first time. But will she make it back okay?

The tale is set in a mangrove swamp and is about friendship, resilience and sustainability.
