What if a fish could teach us how to say goodbye?
Roy the Koi: The Fish Who Lived Forever is a tender, all-ages picture book that helps children-and the adults who love them-navigate the journey of love, loss, and healing through the timeless power of story.
In this beautifully illustrated tale inspired by a real koi, Roy brings joy, magic, and comfort to everyone who visits his peaceful pond. As he swims beneath the surface, he becomes more than a fish-he becomes a friend, a symbol of hope, and a keeper of wishes. But one day, Roy stopped swimming, and the pond grew still.
Told through the eyes of a boy who grew up with Roy, this story gently guides readers-young and old-through the joy of emotional connection, the sadness of saying goodbye, and the healing that comes when we share memories out loud. As the townspeople begin to share their memories, they discover that Roy's spirit never truly left. His story lives on-because stories, like love, never die.
Perfect for ages four and older, this heartwarming story is ideal for:
- families navigating the loss of a pet or loved one
- teachers and counselors introducing grief and healing to young children
- anyone who believes in the power of stories to comfort, connect, and heal
With luminous illustrations and a message of lasting love, Roy the Koi is a must-have for readers who treasure picture books about love, loss, and memory.
