Como pez en el agua
by Daniel Nesquens
Age Range: 6-8
Como pez en el agu was included in the ‘Reading the Way’: Inclusive Books from Around the World Research (2015). The book is not available in English but is referred to as Like a Fish into Water throughout the RtW Research. (Full report in the Education Zone).
OIW found Like a Fish into Water to be a fascinating, but complex book with unusual and attractive illustrations. It takes a metaphorical approach – Sebastian has a profound affinity with water and when he is in the swimming pool, he forgets everything else. Out of water, Sebastian feels as if he is suffocated by the heat and lack of moisture – which renders any messages about disability as ambiguous so there were concerns they could be interpreted in a less than positive way. Nevertheless, it is a deeply intriguing book and one which merits discussion.
