About the Book

The Tale of Two Fishes is a beautifully illustrated therapeutic story designed to help children develop resilient thinking. This engaging narrative features a little girl who feeds two groups of fishes: blue fishes with upturned mouths and red fishes with downturned mouths. As she continues to feed the red fishes, they grow larger and angrier. The girl eventually realizes that by focusing on feeding the blue fishes and ignoring the red ones, the blue fishes thrive, symbolizing how positive, balanced thinking can flourish when we stop dwelling on negative thoughts.

This charming story teaches children the importance of maintaining a positive outlook and not allowing negative emotions to overpower them. It’s an excellent resource for parents, educators, and practitioners to use in discussions about resilient thinking and emotional control. The story offers a valuable tool for teaching children how to manage their thoughts and behaviors effectively.

Perfect for children of all ages, The Tale of Two Fishes serves as both an educational and therapeutic tool. It is part of a set of six other storybooks designed to nurture emotional resilience in young minds. These books, along with the accompanying guidebook, Nurturing Emotional Resilience in Vulnerable Children and Young People (ISBN: 9781138556454), make for an essential resource for anyone working with children to foster emotional well-being and resilience.
