Humu The Little Fish Who Wished

Humu - his Hawaiian name is Humuhumunukunukuapuaa - is a beautiful but shy fish who wishes he was all one color, like his two best friends. Unhappy with the way he looks, Humu swims far, far from home, and asks a wise, magical whale to take his colors away. He would rather be able to blend into the sand. But when Humu returns, his friends help him realize how beautiful his true appearance really is. Can Humu find the wise whale in time to get his colors back?

One little fish has big dreams. As she meets other friends around the ocean, she tries to imagine what life would be like if she were bigger or faster. If she could swim like a shark, she’d never be scared. If she were as big as a whale or could glide along like a ray or could spin in the sky like a seagull, how wonderful and different everything would be. But no matter how much she wishes, she is still just the same fish. She asks the other creatures for advice—a whale and an eel and a shark—and discovers that many of them wish to be just like her! Maybe the little fish can find a way to be happy just the way she is. In this children’s story, a fish dreams of being like other creatures—bigger or faster or able to fly—but soon learns to be happy with herself.

All Children like to daydream a little, but what about Fish. Do Fish wish? who knows for sure, maybe little ones do. If they do what might they dream about or wish for. Or maybe its wiser to be happy as who or what you already are. Well! if we turn over the pages we may just find out.
