Bookroo's summary

Little Flash, a curious fish, loves exploring the ocean alone. One day, he encounters a mysterious black shape that turns out to be a lost baby whale. With the vast ocean as their backdrop, Flash and his shimmering family embark on a heartwarming quest to reunite the whale with her parents. Will they succeed in navigating the deep blue to bring the baby whale home? Dive into this sparkling adventure of friendship and discovery, where every page glistens with the promise of new beginnings.

From the publisher

For fans of Rainbow Fish and Leo Lionni, this lively, sweet picture book about newfound friendship features shiny silver foil on every page.

Little Flash’s family travels as one big group of shimmering silver fish all over the ocean, but Flash likes to strike out on his own to explore. When Flash comes across a big black thing in the water, he’s not sure what to make of it. Could it be a mountain? But mountains don’t have eyes, and they don’t have teeth, and they certainly don’t talk. No, this is not a mountain at all; it’s a baby whale—and she’s lost in the vast ocean! Can Flash and his family help the whale find her mama and papa?

This story truly sparkles: Each little fish is made of shiny silver foil throughout the book, bringing some extra brightness to the charming, colorful illustrations.
