The pond by Nicola Davies, illustrated by Cathy Fisher.
Graffeg Limited 2017.
The father had planned a pond, but dies before its
completion.
The pond becomes a metaphor and representation of the
family's grief and recovery. From a hole, to something beautiful - just as
their father had always said.
This is a very understated book, with much about natural
history (English pond life) woven into the text and illustration.
