Kind of Fishy

"Kind of Fishy" is a unique fishtale - made with driftwood. Dive in with the fun, fast - and furious - fish! There's life in everything - if you just imagine. Just like Danny Driftwood does, as he creates his own underwater world in a bucket; with rocks, sand, leaves - and driftwood. And down here, magic dwells! New friendships, exploration - and, well, also an angry halibut. Can Danny and his two friends trick it and escape? Imagination and reuse - themes that entwine and enforce, for both healthy minds and earth. "Kind of Fishy" aims to inspire just that; to encourage kids, of all ages, to look at things from a slightly different perspective. You might not see it at first glance. But tilt your head slightly, blink and look again - now what do you see?
