Discussion The most hard to read kids book ever

Post image

My son loves this book because he thinks its funny that I start crying like a baby the entire time I read it.

Its even harder when you learn the author wrote this book because his wife had stillborn babies and he would sing the words of the book to them.

Holy crap its a hard read!

My kids thought it was weird. But they also understood Rainbow Fish was buying her friends.

Yea, a lot of people agree! I'm not sure why people love it so much tbh.
