Not Fishy Enough by Briton Kolber is a transformative journey into self-discovery, cleverly blending whimsical storytelling with profound life lessons. The narrative centers around Edwin, who grapples with his identity as a fish despite feeling like a crab. Through Edwin's adventures beyond his familiar tide pool, readers are guided through a narrative rich with themes of self-acceptance, societal expectations, and the importance of embracing one's uniqueness. 

Kolber's adept storytelling is evident in the seamless integration of marine creatures as metaphors for diversity and individuality. From Edwin's initial struggles with acceptance to his eventual embrace of his true self, each chapter unfolds with depth and nuance. Daedalus, the wise pufferfish, serves as a beacon of wisdom, challenging both Edwin and readers to question societal norms and embrace authenticity.

The positive aspect of Not Fishy Enough that sets it apart is its dual nature as both a captivating children's story and a thought-provoking self-help guide. Through Edwin's journey, readers of all ages are encouraged to reflect on their own beliefs and self-perceptions. The inclusion of a self-help section at the end of the book further enhances its value, providing actionable insights for personal growth and introspection.

In summary, Not Fishy Enough is a literary gem that transcends age barriers, offering a poignant reminder of the power of self-acceptance and the beauty of embracing one's true identity. Kolber's masterful storytelling and insightful reflections make this book a must-read for anyone embarking on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

It was a great read for me, and I will recommend this book to both young readers and adults who are in search of self-discovery. I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. It was exceptionally edited with no grammatical or typographical errors, and I found no reason to dislike the book at all.
