When Chuck Swanson first asked Tess Weaver and Jennifer Black Reinhardt to make a children's book inspired by the 30 granite fish now resting on the Hancher Auditorium's lawn, there was some trepidation.
“I just remembered walking (outside Hancher) wondering what to do," Weaver said. "I kept having the strangest image of a trunk being pushed onto a riverbank and then falling back into.”
From there, the ideas began to flow and — in a fraction of the time typically taken to write, print and publish a children's book — "Fishtastic!" came to fruition.
"Fishtastic! A Tale of Magic and Friendship" is a new book written by Weaver and illustrated by Reinhardt, both Iowa City-based creators.
