Upside-Down Fish lives in a big tank at a pet store filled with lots of other fish. The other fish in the tank swim the right way up though, and they don't understand why Upside-Down Fish is so different. This makes him very lonely. One day, a child comes into the store and chooses Upside-Down Fish as a pet. He is anxious that he won't be accepted in his new tank, but much to his surprise, the new fish are friendly! They love that he is different and want to know what it's like to have the sky below and the ground above. Upside-Down Fish realizes that it's okay to be different--it's what makes him so special.
