The Legend of Lake Toba, retold and illustrated by C. Manica, is an Indonesian folk tale originating from the Batak people of North Sumatra.
When a young man named Toba catches a magical fish, he is given a very important secret to keep. He promises never to tell anyone. But keeping a promise is not always easy. When Toba accidentally reveals the secret, something extraordinary happens, changing the land forever.
This retelling introduces children to themes of love, family, keeping promises, and the consequences of our actions. The bittersweet ending remains faithful to the original legend, while its theme of loss is presented in a gentle, age-appropriate way.
