A big, ugly fish has trouble making the friends he longs for because of his appearance--until the day his scary appearance saves them all from a fisherman's net.

When his friend, the tadpole, becomes a frog and leaves the pond to explore the world, the little fish decides that maybe he doesn't have to remain in the pond either. A fable about a fish who learns from a frog how to be happy just being himself.

"Oh no! There's a misbehaving shark at the playground! Swim along with the pout-pout fish as he confronts the challenge of bullying. He just might discover the strength of his community--and the power of his own voice."--
