The Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen
“The Pout-Pout Fish” by Deborah Diesen is a delightful children’s book that follows the journey of Mr. Fish, who believes his destiny is to spread “dreary-wearies” wherever he swims. With a permanent pout on his face, he thinks he’s destined to be sad forever. However, through encounters with his underwater friends, including Miss Shimmer and Mr. Jelly, he learns that his true identity is not fixed and that he has the power to change his outlook.
With playful rhymes and vibrant illustrations by Dan Hanna, “The Pout-Pout Fish” is a heartwarming tale about self-discovery, friendship, and the power of positivity, perfect for young readers and listeners to enjoy during the sunny days of summer.
