The Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen is a great read for children exploring their destinies and learning that it is okay to change them. In this story, the Pout-Pout fish encounters many other sea creatures that encourage him to be happy, but he continuously tells them that he was meant to spread "dreary-wearies." This book is an awesome way to promote language development as it uses rhyming, alliteration, and many great vocabulary words that children might not encounter on a day-to-day basis. Read this story with your children or students to see the captivating illustrations and happy ending.
