Aprašymas

Description

Somewhere in the Kaveri River where the water rushes through a deep gorge,

lives a very special fish called Matisha, one of the largest and most beautiful

freshwater fish on Planet Earth.

Matisha delights in exploring her mysterious underwater world and meets

a vast array of magnificent animals with whom she shares the river and

the surrounding jungle. She is fascinated by the many strange fish of all

shapes and sizes and the large powerful animals like tigers and elephants

which occasionally visit the river. She dodges the attention of hungry birds,

crocodiles and otters who would love to gulp her down as prey. She also

learns about humans, who are sometimes far more dangerous than the animals

around her.

In this dream-like story, follow the wonderful adventures of Matisha as she

migrates upstream to lay her precious eggs. Illustrated beautifully by Maya

Ramaswamy with vibrant colours, the invisible world that lives below the

waters of the river and in the Western Ghats comes alive through the eyes of a

fascinatingly beautiful, yet critically endangered species.
