‘Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.’ -- Albert Einstein (or not, as it turns out!) 

So … can a fish climb a tree? Can a horse drive a car? Can a baby bake a cake? 

And if they can’t, what wonderful things can they do? 

From bestselling creators Jane Godwin and Terry Denton comes a quirky and inspiring book about celebrating who YOU are and the power and peace to be found in not trying to be anyone else.
