HUAN LUCKY FISH

At the bottom of the deep blue sea, self-doubt is top of mind for Huan the fish. Huan can’t stop comparing himself to his friend, Fly – a majestic seahorse with a golden crown atop her head, bright patterns on her chest and glowing green skin that resembles a lush forest. So, Huan hatches a plan to get a magic gold coin that will transform him into a special sea creature like no other.

Huan Lucky Fish, an original story by Bandile Sikwane, drives home an age-old message that each of us is far more awesome and special than we can imagine.
