An utterly charming story…
Seuchan’s first installment in The Adventures of Danny the Discus, invites readers on a discus fish’s underwater adventure. Hatched in a quirky little pet shop in faraway Thailand, Danny the feisty discus fish spends his days frolicking with his colorful siblings. But when he and some of his fishy friends are shipped off to a new home in Trinidad, Danny’s small size makes him an easy target for the big bully in their tropical tank. Will this plucky little fish be able to swim his way out of trouble? Seuchan’s storytelling is seasoned with a love for the vibrant cultures of Thailand and Trinidad, tantalizing readers with mouth-watering descriptions of local delights while her fascinating world of discus fish and their habitats add an educational twist to the poignant narrative. Danny and Sarah are adorable, and their bond is rooted in reality. Jonny Hossain’s gorgeous illustrations bring Danny’s underwater adventure to life. But beyond all this excitement, the heart of the book lies in its message of friendship, acceptance, and love – a timeless lesson that makes Danny’s adventures all the more special and meaningful. A sweet intro to discus fish and a winner for fish-obsessed youngsters.
