Henry feels a bit nervous on his first day of school, so he chooses to wear his favorite fish costume to give him courage in this endearing picture book about the rewards of self-expression, for fans of Dragonboy and Julián Is a Mermaid.

Henry loves the way he feels in his sparkly fish costume. He wears it everywhere he goes: to the grocery store, at the dinner table, and even when taking his fish, Marigold, for a walk. On his first day of school, Henry is feeling anxious. He wishes he could take Marigold with him, but his mom says fish don’t go to school. That’s okay—Henry knows just what to wear to make himself feel braver.

This heartwarming story follows Henry as he faces his fears and makes new friends, all while staying true to himself.
