This mischievous, heartwarming tale has become an international bestseller and an instant classic!
Everyone tells Bum Fish that his face looks like a bum.
It does, but he can't help it.
Sick of being the butt of the joke, Bum Fish goes on an adventure to the bottom of the sea, where he meets a fish even more unusual than he is...
Praise for Bum Fish:
'A story overflowing with humour, a marvellous ode to difference, unconventional beauty and friendship' Le Parisien
'A whimsical and diverting tale of self-love' Kirkus Reviews
