This novel is in the self-help genre, with themes and stories tailored for children to help them understand themselves and embrace their inner beauty. The ideas presented in this book will serve as a guide for adults to assist children in gaining a better understanding of one another.
The book consists of two sections: a narrative-based first section and a discussion-based second section.

The author constructs an intriguing underwater environment in the story-based section and begins narrating the tale of Edwin, a distinctive type of fish that was found by a more experienced group of fish and raised as one of their own.
Edwin, who has been convinced since childhood that he is a fish, does not resemble an underwater creature and feels out of place because of his unique appearance and abilities. This made his life difficult: he was afraid, had to deal with humiliation, felt like he didn't belong in his parents' world, was taunted and criticized frequently, and was always under pressure to appear the same as everyone else.

When he accidentally drifted to a different side of his universe one day, he saw animals that looked and felt much like him. This caused him to doubt his identity and to desperately struggle to accept reality. This marks the beginning of Edwin's journey of self-exploration, brimming with an endless array of questions and ideas. How is he going to handle this new change? The author discusses how he came to embrace his genuine self and how he now accepts his differences, loving himself for being truthful.

The author delves into a self-help discussion in the next section. Embracing one's uniqueness, discovering the right means of self-expression, overcoming obstacles, and striving for personal growth. By breaking the cycle of self-loathing, humiliation, and shame, we can develop into beautiful, self-assured beings and embrace ourselves. There are many questioning components designed to help participants explore the journey and learn more about themselves. The book largely deals with themes such as adoption, feeling out of place, friendship, and acceptance.

I give this book a 5 out of 5 rating. The author's wonderful narrative technique, which effectively conveys a powerful message in a short and fascinating story using simple language, deserves credit. The characters make a strong impression, the plot is concise and easy to follow, and the message is evident. This book is ideal for readers of all ages. The book's illustrations enhanced my reading experience, and the editing team did an excellent job producing flawless work.
I recommend this book to everyone. Pick it up to assist yourself.

This description of Edwin the fish reminds me so much of Nemo in the movie "Finding Nemo," who is missing part of one of his fins, goes on an unintentional adventure and ultimately discovers the power of love and friendship. What a beautiful-sounding book this is!

A well-written review. Sometimes, the environment you're in can impact your self-image. If he hadn't explored the other riff, he might have always thought he was "not fish enough"

If you look hard enough you will find other people who identify with who you are and appreciate you. You are never alone if, you embrace those who accept you and you accept yourself.

This is a book for kids or adults? I'm a little unsure. It's got children's themes, but the self-help section sounds more like it's geared towards adults. Is it for them to read and then discuss with their children?
