Dixi Books Sunfish and Moonlight

Sunfish and Moonlight are two big-hearted sea creatures who love each other and who want to have a family. But the water where they live is too warm and they cannot spawn their babies. They decide to leave their home and go on an extraordinary adventure to a place where the water is colder. Straight from the tales told by Sunfish’s mother, the North Star becomes their compass on a journey where they not only fight with hostile fish but escape from humans hunting them from big ships. Despite ongoing concerns about the seas’ rising temperatures, they avoid all dangers and eventually spawn a family of many babies.

The environmental message in Sunfish and Moonlight is funny and powerful, yet simple enough to engage children and trigger their curiosity to investigate more on global warming. Children instantly connect with the innocent quest of Sunfish and Moonlight and enjoy watching them work through this problem and solve it in their own way.
