Tropical seas are teeming with lives!
Children go diving with their father and discover that the sea is home to not only fish, but also corals, nudibranchs, jellyfish, and many amazing sea lives.
The book is full of colorful photographs of underwater life around Lanta Island in Thailand. In addition to the rhyming storyline, the book contains information about many life forms. The realisation that seas are home to lots of animals, not only fish, is hoped to inspire readers to take care of the environment and preserve the sea lives.
"Not Only Fish" is one of the books in the first series of social-driven picture books, Wadwang Nangsue, that have stirred the traditional view and expectation of children's books in Thailand. The two book sets attempt not only to develop the children but also to move the whole society forward to the kinder and more open-minded ideal.
