Reviews
“OMGosh – I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it…it’s amazing…right from the heart of the story to the incredible voice that you give it and the use of light in the illustrations. SO WONDERFUL, Sarah!”
– Sandra, Child Welfare Worker
“Frank the Fish Finds His Forever Home by Sarah Burnett-Murray is based on a true story of a betta fish in Ontario, Canada. Readers of all ages will connect with this wonderful story of Frank the Fish! Through this book, the reader is taken on a roller coaster journey as Frank finds himself in a world of uncertainty. The image of being left alone (p.14), is one of the many illustrations in the book that perfectly depicts Frank’s feelings as he navigates his surroundings. It made my heart sink and eyes tear up for Frank. Through her thoughtful writing, Sarah sheds light on the fears and worries of Frank, and taps into the real fears of children in adoption and foster care. Frank reminds the reader that it’s okay to be scared, and that much can be found on the other side of one’s fears. Frank truly gives readers hope for their own life journeys. I am sure you too will feel connected to Frank and his wonderful story. This book has such amazing life lessons! A definite must read!”
– Daisy-Mae Hamelinck, Author, Professor, and Motivational Speaker
"I really like Frank the Fish and the people that took care of him. I want to hear more of his adventures!"
– Thea, Age 4
“Cute story. I liked the premise and that they talked to him about moving later.”
– Joscelyn, Thea’s Grandma
"What a great read! I read to both my son who is 7 and my daughter who is 4 and they agreed that Frank the Fish is a pretty awesome character. I personally loved how many big feelings Frank the Fish conveyed to the reader that were completely relatable for everyone from kids to adults. My kids and I felt empathy for him and wanted him to find happiness. We really felt like we were rooting for him in finding his forever home. The underlying topic of adoption is such a nice theme that you layered into the book using Frank. And I think the fact that Frank didn't find his forever home at first and had to deal with some tough emotions resembled the realities of adoption which is so important. Frank has taken a topic that can be hard to talk about and made it relatable. My kids and I chatted about it after we were done reading and it was great way for me to talk to them about this theme."

Could easily be applied to the lives of pets and their need for a secure forever home.
The illustrations are filled with movement and colour. Liquid gold really.
For any adoptee or adopter, I would highly recommend purchasing this perfect gem of a book. Age doesn’t matter. This book and glorious illustrations are perfection indeed.
