The Fish that wanted to Fly
By Little Wing Puppets Written by Jenny Ellis, Miriam Lieberman and Anne Brooksbank
The Fish That Wanted to Fly is about having the courage to pursue something even if it seems likely you will never reach it.
In our story we meet a little Fish whose lagoon is drying up. All the other fish have left, and she wants to learn how to fly so she can see them again. Her friend, a hermit crab named Karramoko, sits by a stormwater drain and tells her it will never happen. She meets a Kingfisher who helps her and encourages her to keep trying. It’s not until she meets a Cormorant, who offers to take her up into the sky that she flies for the first time. But will she make it back? The tale is set in a mangrove swamp, and is about friendship, resilience and sustainability.

‘Underwater World: A Shadow Puppetry Projection Project’
Explore the world of shadows with Little Wing Puppets in this exciting new projection project. Combining human silhouettes and puppets, we will make a colourful underwater world to be displayed on Kingston Arts’ Bridge Projection Space.
