A Fish Called Wish

Do you want to educate your kids about the increasingly common phenomenon of "shaming"? Talk to them about how to behave in the digital world that surrounds them? This book can be of enormous help to you. It will teach kids the value of being tolerant towards others who are different, just like "Wish" - the little sardine fish. As well as being an insightful tale told in charming rhymes suitable for readers of all ages, this book is a useful tool for parents and educators to facilitate discussion about how to behave responsibly online and offline. This story about a sardine named Wish, who has a black smudge on his fin and is therefore banned from the sardine "school", serves as an appropriate metaphor for the things that are happening in the media these days. Wish's story can be likened to that of a young person who is "trapped" on social networking sites and finds themself verbally abused, threatened, rejected, all of which often leads to low self-esteem and can cause children to feel isolated. Cyber bullies hiding behind the anonymity of the internet don't see the painful results of their hostile actions. Teachers are often unaware of what is happening. Many times even parents are ignorant of their children's roles as either the bullies or the victims on social networking sites. All little Wish needed in his story was one brave fish who did not care about his black smudge and accepted him. At the end of the book, there are questions that the educator can discuss with the class.
