Asha is a giant fish who was originally part of a fountain in the park. Clara, a little girl, makes friends with Asha, and they have adventures together, like flying in the night sky together. Whether you regard Asha as Clara's imaginary friend or see this book as portraying a magical world where a fish in a fountain can become a little girl's friend and accompany her everywhere, this is a great title about friendship and imagination. The story takes place as bed time approaches, and while the illustrations are colorful and dynamic in composition, muted tones and soft lines give the story a calm, gentle feel.
