Book: Kaya's Journey - The Story Of a 100-year-Old Koi Fish

Written By: Mila Kahlon

Illustrated By: Paridhi Didwania

The small fish that thought big . . . The gods descended to meet this incredible fish and reward her for her inspiring strength. One of them turned her colour from pink to bright, sparkling gold, so that she would stand out amongst all other fish. Everyone has a dream. Kaya's was to see the world. For a tiny koi fish in a little pond, it seemed like an impossible feat. Yet her courageous journey has become a thing of legend in many countries and cultures. This story, inspired by a real fish, real events, folk tales and beliefs, will inspire you to follow your dreams, no matter how big.

We had the best experience bringing Kaya to life by illustrating the brave and boisterous Koi Fish.

Diving deep into the writer’s imagination and creating a world of our own, we paid a lot of attention to draw details and color shading for a delightful visual experience for the young readers.

Kaya has won Best Children’s Book of the Year award and has excellent reviews on Amazon and other Publishing websites.
