Debra George’s new children’s book, Yankee the Fish, invites young readers into a colorful underwater world where curiosity, independence, and important life lessons collide. Charming rhymes, whimsical illustrations, and an uplifting message make this the perfect story for any family that looks for books that entertain children while teaching them about responsibility and the importance of listening.
The story relates the adventures of Yankee, an energetic little fish that loves to zip through the pond and sing her cheerful fish song. But while her loving mother warns her about dangers beyond the pond, especially the rushing waters that lead to a steep waterfall, Yankee is convinced she is big enough to explore on her own.
Her confidence quickly turns into concern when the strong current pulls her toward Niagara Falls, and she realizes that she is a lot smaller than what she had presumed. Tumbling over the falls, landing on a fisherman’s ledge, and narrowly escaping becoming “fish stew,” it is here that Yankee will learn a powerful lesson in humility, obedience, and the deep love behind a parent’s guidance.
Reunited with her mother, Yankee apologizes and promises to listen from now on, with a heart-touching conclusion that resonates deeply with young children and parents alike.
Yankee the Fish is a beautifully illustrated children’s picture book, full of playful poetry, gentle warnings, and spiritual values intertwined within the plot. The story draws attention to:
- Listening to parental guidance is important
- Understanding consequences within a safe, imaginative environment
- Gratitude, humility and personal growth
- Subtle faith-based message in doing things “God’s way”
Young readers will love the colorful underwater scenery, the expressive characters, and the rhythmic storytelling that makes this book a perfect bedtime story, classroom story time, or early literacy development.
