The author of Dear Fish is the French picture book master Andrew De 'ang.
I read this story in the first grade classroom. Reading this story for the first time gave me a very delicate feeling. Seeing the cover of this picture book, a kitten's mouth is stuck in the lake, and there is a small fish in the lake. I haven't seen the contents yet, so I thought, what will happen to cats and fish? Is this little fish in danger?
When the book was opened, a kitten looked at the fish quietly by the fish tank. The kitten stood up and reached into the fish tank with bread in one hand. In order to make the fish grow up quickly, the kitten feeds the fish with bread. The kitten expects the little fish to grow up quickly, but she is afraid that the fish tank will never hold it when she grows up. The cat wants to put the fish in the sea In order to let the fish grow freely, the cat sent the small fish to the sea. "But, dear little fish, I miss you so much …" said the kitten. From then on, the kitten sat alone on the rock, waiting to see if the fish would appear in its sight. From day to night, I still want to throw my hat into the sea to see if the little fish will help it pick it up. What a surprise it would be if the little fish came back here. Xiaoyu really came back. Fish take their bodies as a cat's boat and take the cat out to sea. They crossed the river and the sea and came to an island with palm trees. There, they also played the game of "collecting hats", how happy they would be.
Reading page by page, I gradually realized that this is friendship, this is understanding, and this is love. Love is not whether you are happy, but whether you are comfortable. Love is letting go and setting the person you love free. Love is waiting, love is missing, love is expecting, and love is waiting for and missing the fish after it leaves. Love is being together. When fish and cats are together, they will never be apart again. Cats love fish, and cats set them free; Fish like cats, so they take cats to swim in the sea and play the game of catching hats. Love is when I set you free and you come back to me after you get free.
