The Magic Coin by Daan Remmerts De Vries
Once upon a time, in a village under the sea, sneaky Al Caponefish steals a quarter from Oyster’s shop. But when he gets worried he’ll be caught red-handed (or red-finned?), he convinces Gentleman Johnny the sea turtle that it's a magic quarter, worth well over twenty-five cents. On and on the cycle goes, with one fish pawning off a quarter on the next … until the simple, kind Goldfish discovers the perfect use for it: returning it (inadvertently) to its home. Marije Tolman’s (Little Fox, Quill the Forest Keeper) signature, vibrant, mixed-media risographs give life to award-winning author Daan Remmerts de Vries’s charming modern fable.Marije Tolman studied graphic and type design at the Royal Academy in The Hague, and illustration and design at the Edinburgh College of Art, in Scotland.
