Swimmy
by Leo Lionni
A small black fish named Swimmy becomes separated from his school when a big tuna fish eats all his red fish friends. After exploring the ocean alone and discovering its wonders, Swimmy finds another school of small red fish who are too afraid to swim freely due to predators. Using creativity and teamwork, Swimmy teaches them to swim together in formation to look like one giant fish, allowing them all to explore the ocean safely. This classic tale emphasizes themes of resilience, leadership, cooperation, and finding strength in community after experiencing loss.
