Stories take shape beneath the sea

Diffy’s discovery of a mysterious object on his favorite rock sparks a chain of storytelling among the fish who gather to hear what he imagines from its images. When the object disappears, the story turns toward what remains when a source of inspiration is gone: the connections and shared ideas built between listeners and storytellers. Set in an ocean community, the picture book brings curiosity, imagination, and the exchange of stories together in a premise for young readers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in imaginative picture-book stories
  • Families and educators seeking a story centered on storytelling and sharing ideas

Book overview

An inquisitive fish named Diffy finds a life-changing object in this thoughtful ode to storytelling by Caldecott Honoree, Brian Lies.

Diffy doesn't know what to make of the mysterious object that's landed on his favorite rock. When he starts to make up stories based on the curious images he uncovers, the other fish gather around to listen and then begin to share their own. But one day Diffy's amazing discovery disappears from the rock, and he worries that his stories might have left with it. But stories grow out of connections, and before long, Diffy's world blooms with a whole ocean of creatures.

This picture book celebrates curiosity, imagination, and the transformative power that comes with the sharing of information, ideas, and storytelling.
