![]() ![]() I loved this simple, straightforward parable about cooperation. ![]() It will take teamwork, practice, and trust, but Swimmy knows that when everyone works together, they can accomplish great things. So Swimmy comes up with a brilliant plan for everyone to safely swim in the ocean. Upon finding another flock of fish like him, he tries to convince them to come and see the wonders of the sea, but they are too scared of the big fish and want to stay hidden. Swimmy swims as fast as he can, but once he stops fleeing, he is surprised to find the ocean filled with marvels that he missed by never leaving his school. One day, a giant tuna comes up and begins eating the other fish, and everyone begins to scatter. Swimmy is just a bit different though: his scales are black, and everyone says he is the fastest swimmer in the school. Swimmy is part of a big school of very small red fish. Hello, friends! Our book today is Swimmy by Leo Lionni, the timeless story of a little fish, a big ocean, and what we can accomplish when we work together. ![]()
