Henry feels a bit nervous on his first day of school, so he chooses to wear his favourite fish costume to give him courage in this endearing picture book about the rewards of self-expression when facing new experiences, for fans of Dragonboy and Julian 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 mum 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.
