‘Everybody is a genius.
But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,
it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.’
– Albert Einstein (or not, as it turns out!)
So … can a fish climb a tree?
Can a horse drive a car?
Can a baby bake a cake?
And if they can’t, what wonderful things can they do?
From bestselling creators Jane Godwin and Terry Denton comes a quirky and inspiring book about celebrating who YOU are and the power and peace to be found in not trying to be anyone else.
‘Godwin’s succinct, well-worded text lends itself well to reading aloud during classroom and library storytimes … Denton’s colorful, playful illustrations brighten every page with multiple characters and intriguing details. An imaginative picture book.’ – Booklist
