Beautiful storytelling.
I loved the use of color!
Past = yellow
Present = red
Fairytale = blue
If you like The Magic Fish, you might also like Lunar New Year Love Story which features Vietnamese characters and also uses color in an interesting way.

Such a beautiful story of a boy who doesn't know how to tell his mother one of the most important things about himself. They are connected by fairy tales and she uses a final story to let him know how much she loves him. The art in this title is muted but stunning. The fact that Tien has supportive people in his life is a refreshing view of the coming out story.
