Fox knows that Goldfish is very unwell. Before it’s too late, he takes his friend on an epic adventure beyond the fishbowl. Together they take a splash in the ocean, go for a bike ride in the Grand Canyon, admire the view of Mount Fiji, explore the jungle, go skiing an d even make it to the moon. Then time has come for Fox to let go of Goldfish. At least he’s shown him the entire world.
Some things – like friendship, farewells, and the beauty of the world – are almost beyond words.

REVIEWS
Letting go and loss is dealt with in a subtle way emphasising the importance of friendship, a celebration of life and having wonderful memories. A beautiful and timeless picture book. {Outside in World}
In this memorable book, many things are said in almost no words at all. {Iona McLaren at The Telegraph}
Children’s books that tackle a subject such as bereavement are hard to get right: this one does it beautifully, relying largely on visuals with just a minimum of words. {Red Reading Hub}
Very few words, yet a powerful message delivered that leaves your heart full and broken in equal measure.

Utterly Wonderful
This is one of those books that come along and hit you in a way you couldn't imagine. I was so impressed with the beauty and elegance in this book that I was completely in love with it from the moment I turned the first page. The illustrations and beautiful story of two friends is one that I highly recommend everyone to read.

Outstanding!
This is the first children's book I have seen deal with death, and I was initially quite cautious. However, I was absolutely blown away by the delicate and beautiful way this book interacts with such a important topic. All children must read this!
