Fish is Fish - Book

A little fish learns that it's important to be content with what you are. Charming illustrations.

Fish Is Fish is a picture book by Leo Lionni. When the little fish's friend the tadpole becomes a frog and leaves the pond to explore the world, the fish decides that maybe he doesn't have to stay in the pond either, and learns a lesson about being who you are.

Lionni was born in the Netherlands, worked as an art director in the United States, including for Fortune magazine, and began writing and illustrating children's books after returning to Italy in 1962. His book Inch by Inch won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award that same year. This 32-page paperback is published by Knopf.
