What is The pout-pout fish about?

Mr Fish has a face that always looks gloomy, and he is convinced that spreading sadness is simply who he is. His sea-dwelling friends try to cheer him up, but nothing seems to change his pout. Then an unexpected encounter helps Mr Fish see himself in a new way. Could he really be more than a pout-pout fish? Told in lively rhyme and filled with colourful underwater illustrations, this gentle story explores emotions, friendship and the surprising power of a fresh perspective.
