Fire Fish Book Giveaway
I have here one of the most beautiful children’s books I’ve seen in a long time–Fire Fish. Davy Liu, who worked on several Disney Films (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan, and The Lion King), has created a magnificent and spiritual world filled with the colorful underwater world of three very special fish. The book takes your children on a journey as the three friends go on a search for their missing parents.
Children will learn valuable moral lessons in all of Davy Liu’s books, as he has written a whole series. Each book, based on a biblical story and written from an animal’s perspective, will eventually be put to film. These films promise to be truly stunning if the artwork in the books is any indication.
I have here one copy of Fire Fish to give away. It’s not only a beautiful hardcover you’ll love as much as your kids will, it’s signed by the author as well. To me, these always make wonderful keepsakes. As popular as I’m sure the films will be too, you’ll want to treasure these books.

What a great sounding book!!!
July 22nd, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Beautiful illustrations and what a great cast of characters! It’s interesting to me that the inspiration for the story is that of Moses and the Burning Bush. I’d like to see how they translated this into their story.

July 22nd, 2008 at 5:24 pm

July 22nd, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I really love the message behind the book, especially love the use of Sarai Abraham wife name before it was changed, great story. Thanks for the contest

July 22nd, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I love the beautiful pictures!! I especially love the pictures of the fish on the characters page and the desktops that you can download!
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:32 pm
I’m curious about the book after reading that the author was inspired to write it based on Moses and his encounter with God. I also thought the illustrations on the website were beautifully done.

The fact that the author was inspired by Moses and his encounter with God really touches my heart. I also liked the idea of the author writing a book based on the “flood” as witnessed by a fox. The illustrations of his upcoming works are beyond beautiful. I am so happy to see there is an author out there who is prolific, and writes with a spiritual undertone for children. I would love the book to give as a special gift to my first grandchild, a beautiful boy of Asian and Caucasian mix.
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:55 pm

July 22nd, 2008 at 6:12 pm
I love the book,the story line is beautiful and you can buy the book at amazon.com
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I would not have guessed a fish book would be inspired by Moses’ encounter with God.
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:25 pm
The drawings of the characters are so realistic (the Evil Eel really is pretty creepy looking!!!).
I love stories that have morals to them. I love it when my kids read things with meaning instead of just fluff.
This looks like a beautiful book. Thank you for a wonderful prize giveaway.
July 22nd, 2008 at 6:30 pm
WOW! This is soo cute. And the fact that it is Biblical is awsome! What a great giveaway.

This looks like the most beautiful book! And now that my daughter is taking a huge interest in reading, I know she’d love the characters. Thanks to a trip to the aquarium and countless hours of watching Finding Nemo, I know my wee one would be right at home with Sesom, Raaon, Sarai and the Dolphin. They are incredibly well illustrated and the characters seem to be very well developed. This is a book I will purchase even if I don’t win. Thanks for presenting it!

I love any childrens books that are faith based, and help to teach lessons on such important topics as citizenship, integrity, character, honesty, and empathy. The illustrations and the descriptions of the characters seem to be geared for younger children… the perfect time to instill these values in thier hearts and minds!! This would make a great addition, next to my “Kids for Character” series!!! I would love to win this… I think it would fast become a bedtime/anytime favorite!!!!
July 23rd, 2008 at 12:18 pm
