Little Fish Came First

Picture book

After a long swim in search of uncharted seas, Little Fish is convinced that he’s finally discovered a place where no one has ever gone before…

Too bad he doesn’t have a flag to plant, to let everyone know that that place belongs only to him. “Need a flag? Here you go!” says the turtle, which appears from around the corner. And then here’s the squid, the crab, the clam, the jellyfish… With great disappointment, Little Fish realizes that actually that space belongs to everyone! But he also discovers that you can play much more fun games with lots of people.

  • A story that makes you think about our desire to own things and the pleasure and benefits of sharing.
