‘Fred’ is a fully illustrated and written tale about a fish left for dead on the side of the road. Rescued by a lonely New Yorker, Fred’s journey takes a magical turn when he undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis. This emotional story, inspired by a comic I previously created, invites readers to follow Fred’s transformation, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page. Though captivating, Frederick offers a poignant narrative, with a bittersweet twist—this is not a story with a happy ending, but one that will keep you rooting for Fred until the very end.
