Once mama fish lays their precious eggs, daddy fish takes on an incredible responsibility.    For over fifty days, he carries the eggs safely in his mouth, unable to eat or speak, constantly opening and closing his mouth to provide fresh, clean water for his developing babies.

English Translation Available   One moon speaks for all the "bad" children. One night, the Moon’s stomach suddenly roared loudly. It startled even herself. That was the first night.   As the moon grew hungrier and hungrier, she became thinner and thinner. By the 888th night, a great mouth had sprouted—lined with sharp, pointed teeth. She devoured all that emitted light and became THE BAD MOON.   Still, she remains ravenous and  insatiable. Who would dare light a flame under her tyranny? Perhaps a little fox on his birthday, lighting a single wishing candle, could change how things are...   This poetic fable gives voice to every so called “bad child”. Beneath the label of "bad", lies emotions anyone could experience: loneliness, longing, restlessness, even rage. But, through a little compassion, we learn to see and understand the pain behind "bad” behavior. Bad Moon whispers a truth: no matter who you are or what you've become, somewhere in an unknown corner, warm eyes are watching over you with care.   Size: 15 x 21 cm
