Description

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 cant, 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.
