a book about there being only one you even though there are so many people like yourself

Ashlie_Kimbel | Mar 19, 2023 |

This book is perfect for primary readers. It includes a positive message about being unique and making the world a better place, leaving it better than you found it. It can be used during a science lesson or when teaching about social justice. I also think that it has a lot of pictures for kids to look at and dissect. It is easy to read and not very text heavy.

Adri the fish's mama and papa share some of the wisdom they have gained through the years with their eager son. Their words, simple and powerful, are meant to comfort and guide him as he goes about exploring the world.

This is a cute story and great for kids to hear advice about themselves as a person. (

Fairly cute book. Full of wisdom for little minds-although it does seem a bit contrived and forced. It is interesting to have the painted fish with a background of real oceans and other scenes. It adds an interesting dimension. (
