Introducing I Can Read Comics, a new early reader line that familiarizes children with the world of graphic novel storytelling and encourages visual literacy in emerging readers.
One day, a bored little fish journeys up to the surface of the ocean, where it meets the sun. A wonderful friendship blooms… Only, right in the middle of their fun, the sun starts to set! Fish and Sun is a powerful story about newfound friendship by Sergio Ruzzier.
"Painted seascapes in rich colors warm the early reader comic's minimal text, and small details—Fish sleeps underwater with a small pillow—will draw laughter." (Publishers Weekly)
Fish and Sun is a Level One I Can Read Comic, a simple story for shared reading.

The understated plot allows new readers to focus on the well-chosen words and meaningful emotional arc, and Ruzzier’s slightly bonkers visual world-building keeps things fresh. — Publishers Weekly (starred review) A captivating new duo. — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Fish and Sun are two delightful characters who will touch readers’ hearts. The perfect story for emergent readers and developing visual learners. — School Library Journal (starred review) Uncluttered watercolor illustrations, in Ruzzier’s always imaginative, slightly off-kilter style, reinforce the playful action; the natural language and phonetic patterns will serve readers well; and the emotional drama is just right. — Horn Book (starred review)
