When a young boy must leave his koi fish behind for a new life across the world, he learns that love and care can travel farther than he ever imagined. Inspired by Jack Wong’s own childhood move from Hong Kong to Canada, Goodbye, Koi is a tender story of resilience and empathy lushly illustrated in the style of Chinese brush painting.
