Just when Kaoru has figured out how to be a girl fish, she changes into a boy fish. Friends and family try to give advice, but this only make things more confusing. Finally, Kaoru figures out how to be ... Kaoru. Kaoru the Kobudai offers a lovely and gentle story to explore the tricky issue of gender identity with young children. Told with a twinkle of humour and the beautiful illustrations of Sarah Armstrong, it's all about accepting ourselves and going our own way.
