A review by renab
Fish Girl by David Wiesner, Donna Jo Napoli

3.0

The author, illustrator and published missed an opportunity to support young people’s understanding and autonomy in relation to the complex topics in this book. Specifically, I wonder why they chose not to offer resources or advice for what to do if the reader found themself being exploited for their body, or, how they might help a friend in a situation of abuse. Another possibility might have been to offer a guide for adults reading the book with kids to support their comprehension and questions that came up. This book could be a great learning tool with better support.
