Can You Teach a Fish to Climb a Tree? cover

From bestselling creators Jane Godwin and Terry Denton, Can You Teach a Fish to Climb a Tree? is a quirky and inspiring book about celebrating who YOU are and the power and peace to be found in not trying to be anyone else.

‘Everybody is a genius.
But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,
it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

– Albert Einstein (maybe)

So … can a fish climb a tree?
Can a horse drive a car?
Can a baby bake a cake?
And if they can’t, what wonderful things can they do?

Can You Teach a Fish to Climb a Tree? is a celebration of uniqueness and individuality, based on the well-known Einstein quote.

‘Godwin’s succinct, well-worded text lends itself well to reading aloud during classroom and library storytimes … Denton’s colorful, playful illustrations brighten every page with multiple characters and intriguing details. An imaginative picture book.’ – Booklist

Denton’s colorful, playful illustrations brighten every page with multiple characters and intriguing details. An imaginative picture book.
