Little Fish by Sylvia Fox

2024-2025

I was approached by Sylvia Fox and publishing house Blue Cactus Press to illustrate and design ‘Little Fish’, a haunting exploration of grief, trauma, and the search for identity. In addition to illustrating and designing the front and back book covers, as well as the interiors, I was also in charge of editorial design, typesetting, composition, and book and page layout.

In this evocative debut novella-in-verse, author Sylvia Fox crafts a hauntingly lyrical exploration of grief, trauma, and the search for self amidst a sea of memory and history. Illustrated by Irene Chin, Little Fish plunges readers into the depths of an oceanic liminal space, where Flor, the protagonist, is adrift in her sorrow and contemplation.
