What does it mean to retell and reimagine a nursery rhyme? Author Isabelle Engler dug further into the lyrics and broke tradition - what if the fisherman were not a grown man, but a little girl out on an adventure? What emotions do we experience when we face potential failures? How do we encourage our children to continue seeking challenges we know they can overcome?
