Velvet & Elvis is a gorgeous and simple book; an important story of New Zealand's long fin eel told with Stephanie Bowman's stunning paintings.
Old Velvet the longfin eel has made New Zealand's Lake Rotoiti her home for 101 years. Lately, as hungry male eels swim around smelling for food, she rests her soft, velvety belly on the bottom. Her tummy is now filled with millions of tiny eggs, leaving no room for food. Velvet knows her time in this protected water is ending. And now, she has something more important to do than eating.
29.7cm x 21cm. Paperback, 24 pages.
