A fish’s world, turned around

Ursula’s river is oriented in an unexpected way: weeds wave overhead while bugs fill the sky below. When questions about left, right, and “up” unsettle her sense of direction, the story makes its upside-down format part of the reading experience, inviting children to turn the book as Ursula explores how she sees the world. The premise links playful spatial confusion with a story of confidence and self-discovery, all within a picture-book format for young readers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy interactive picture books
  • Young readers interested in fish and playful questions about direction
  • Adults seeking a read-aloud built around a book-turning format

Indie Next Pick

Ursula finds confidence in seeing the world her own way in another innovative, flipped-format picture book from Caldecott Honor and Geisel Award winner Corey R. Tabor.

Ursula is a happy catfish, swimming through a shimmering river with weeds waving above and a sky full of scrumptious bugs below.

Then one question turns her world upside down.

Is left right? Is right wrong? Which way even is up?

Children will love turning the book upside down and back again as they follow Ursula's humorous journey to self-discovery.
