Little Koi Wants To Fly

This poem draws on the beauty of folk tales and the urgency of environmental realities to tell the story of Little Koi, a young fish disturbed by the microplastics invading his ocean home. As his mother sings a lullaby about the "Land of Kites", a dreamlike place where colours soar freely across clear skies, Koi begins to long for flight, to escape, and to find a world untouched by pollution. This collection invites children to imagine freely and care deeply. Because every little koi deserves a clean sea and the chance to rise.
