Reach for this book when your child is navigating the tricky dynamics of playground cliques or struggling with the courage to include someone new. While the original Rainbow Fish focused on sharing, this sequel tackles the social pressure of standing by and watching someone else be excluded. It is a gentle yet clear model for how to move from being a bystander to an upstander. The story follows Rainbow Fish and his friends as they play a game that excludes a small, finless newcomer. When a shark suddenly attacks, the group must decide whether to retreat to safety or risk themselves to save the outsider. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 3-7) who are beginning to experience peer pressure and the complex feelings of 'belonging' versus 'doing what is right.'
