A few days ago, Emma and I were watching Finding Nemo on TV. It reminded me of one of our favorite books, Swimmy by Lionni. Swimmy is a unique little fish. He's a different color than the other fish in his school and he's brave — not afraid to venture out into the sea or to stand up to fish that are bigger than him. There are so many good lessons to be learned from Swimmy, but my favorite is that if you work together, you can solve big problems (like bullying!). It's so important to sand up for what you believe in, and that's just what Swimmy does. The illustrations in Swimmy are wonderful too. And the words are simple, yet poetic. We also like Frederick, another Lionni classic, but Swimmy is our favorite.
