The fish who found the sea / Le, Khoa

"This parable from the beloved philosopher Alan Watts tells the story of a confused fish who begins to chase his own tail in an effort to keep from falling to the bottom of the ocean.

This is a 32-page, fully illustrated picture book with illustrations from award-winning illustrator Khoa Le with a message every bit as relevant now as when it first appeared in a periodical in the 1950s"--
