Why read it?
2 authors picked The Rainbow Fish as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Children love being unique and different. We live in a culture that celebrates beauty and shiny, glittery wealth and even “having” a lot.
The beautiful rainbow fish was indeed beautiful on the outside but this did not endear the fish to her peers. This book teaches that in gratitude and service to others, we show our love.
When we show our heart and share from the heart, this is a sign of true beauty, and this helps us better connect with others. And in this way–when we give love, we feel love.
From Tina's list on young children to build self compassion.
I remember this story from when I was little. I would stroke the shiny scales with my fingers and admire the octopus in his cave. Little me couldn’t believe the fish would give away his scales! Didn’t he want to keep them all? The message about the happiness that comes with generosity was certainly one I needed to hear...repeatedly.
