Boo! A Fishy Mystery is a veritable feast of colour by the picture book talent that is Kate Read. Boo! follows up her award-winning One Fox: A Counting Book Thriller and is another triumph. The unique way she builds her creations is just stunning with a mixture of collage, printing and drawing, creating layers of beautifully coloured texture and detail. It's one big stroke-able underwater triumph. As we follow the tiny pink fish on his adventures, we meet a host of sea creatures as the cheeky character causes chaos in the deep. The multi-coloured mayhem is marvellous with Kate's illustrations really bringing the emotions of the fish to life in a funny and vibrant way.
The LoveReading LitFest invited Kate to the festival to talk about Boo!
The digitally native, all year round, online literature and books festival, with new content released every week is a free-for-all-users festival.

About
Boo! A Fishy Mystery Synopsis
Boo!: A Fishy Mystery is a glorious underwater adventure from the creator of the award-winning One Fox: A Counting Book Thriller, featuring a host of sea creatures from an orange crab to a green turtle, a yellow eel and even a purple puffer fish.
It all begins with one tiny pink fish who sets off a chain reaction of chaos beneath the waves until suddenly - SNAP! - she finds herself all alone in the ocean. Where has everyone gone, and how can such a tiny creature rescue her friends?
Kate Read's stunning illustrations are as rich and bright as an aquarium of tropical fish and readers will love following the trail of colourful creatures through to the surprise ending. There's even a page at the end showing you how to mix your own colours.

More About Kate Read
More
Kate joined the LoveReading LitFest to talk about her stunning picture books..here's a taster..
"Life is a long journey and we’re all told to make decisions early on when we’re quite young, but we don’t actually know until we’ve done a few things… It’s a huge privilege to make picture books for kids.”
“Boo was an idea that then I had to grow into the text. I spent a lot of time making the images, and drawing the images, and then thinking about what these fish might be saying to each other. And that helped me to grow the story out of it. So I knew what the story was but then I had to find what they were saying by playing with drawing.”
