Fish in a Tree

Author: Lynda Mullaly Hunt

Ally has always been different, but she’s never understood why. Struggling to hide her inability to read, she uses humor and mischief to distract from her academic shortcomings. But when a new teacher sees through her facade, Ally’s world begins to change. With patience and understanding, Mr. Daniels helps her discover her true potential, proving that being different isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength. This heartwarming tale of self-discovery reminds us that everyone’s mind works uniquely, and that’s what makes us special.

Everybody is smart in different ways. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its life believing it is stupid.
