I have submitted two stumpers.   We believe they’re by the same author, but don’t remember.  We think the author is also the illustrator, but could be mistaken.  These aren’t quite board books, but little hardback picture books for very young readers.

This second book is about a little girl, possibly named Susan, who feeds fish by the water’s edge.  She falls in one day and is rescued and carried to shore by a big fish she has been kind to.  Probably published in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

A remarkable and memorable thing about this book was its illustration.

The graphics were geometrical and simple, almost primitive, and the colors were bold.  I don’t remember as well what “Susan” looked like, but her body may have been a triangle.

My parents bought the books for me at a little bookstore in Elmira, NY, when I was small, probably right around 1980-83.  Would love to find these books for my own boy.  Thanks for any help!
