Everybody loves the international bestseller and award-winning book “The Rainbow Fish,” with its wonderful message of friendship and belonging. With shiny, multi-colored scales, Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in the ocean and the only one of his kind. But when Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean turns against the vain creature. Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus, who helps him learn that it’s far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.
