Synopsis
Introducing I Can Read Comics, a new early reader line that familiarizes children with the world of graphic novel storytelling and encourages visual literacy in emerging readers.
One day, a bored little fish journeys up to the surface of the ocean, where it meets the sun. A wonderful friendship blooms… Only, right in the middle of their fun, the sun starts to set! Fish and Sun is a powerful story about newfound friendship by Sergio Ruzzier.
"Painted seascapes in rich colors warm the early reader comic's minimal text, and small details—Fish sleeps underwater with a small pillow—will draw laughter." (Publishers Weekly)
Fish and Sun is a Level One I Can Read Comic, a simple story for shared reading.

Reviews
K-Gr 2—Bored Fish ventures to the surface of the ocean in search of light and unexpectedly meets the Sun in all its glory. Fish plays games and basks in Sun's warmth, but the good times don't last long, as Fish's new companion sets for the day, leaving Fish cold and forlorn. The next day is a bright beginning as Sun peeks through the clouds to reunite with Fish. This beginning comic reader is an ideal introduction to the sequential art format, and the guided reading series provides a short tutorial for budding comic fans. Ruzzier presents a delicately designed story of friendship full of intimacy and emotion. His textured watercolors mirror the environment as well as the shifting moods of the lonely Fish. VERDICT Fish and Sun are two delightful characters who will touch readers' hearts. The perfect story for emergent readers and developing visual learners.—Claire Moore, Manhattan Beach Lib., CA
