Fish Girl

In this wordless graphic novel from 2017, published by Houghton Mifflin, acclaimed author Donna Jo Napoli and celebrated artist David Wiesner collaborate to tell the story of a young mermaid-like creature confined to a boardwalk aquarium. Through Wiesner's luminous, cinematic illustrations, the book explores themes of captivity, curiosity, and the yearning for freedom. A singular, self-contained work, Fish Girl stands as a striking example of visual storytelling from two masters of their craft.
