Bookroo's summary
In a vibrant underwater world, Fish dreams of soaring like a bird or hissing like a snake. Each wish takes him on a whimsical journey, but a simple mayfly snack leads to a heartwarming realization. Fish discovers that being himself is the greatest adventure of all. Dive into this beautifully illustrated tale that celebrates self-acceptance and the joy of being unique.
From the publisher
Fish has a wish. He wishes he were a bird so he could fly. He wishes he were a skunk so he could make a big stink. . . or a snake that says HISSSSSSSSS. But after enjoying a delicious mayfly snack, Fish realizes he’s happy exactly as he is. The stunning artwork draws from Asian and classical European wildlife art, and is both elegant and bold. An I Like to Read (R) book. Guided Reading Level E.
