This is a story about a betta fish named Frank. Frank is more person than fish. He loves his people, he likes his routine, and he knows what he wants. Unlike most fish, he's very expressive and is more than capable of conveying his displeasure or joy.

After a journey full of ups and downs, Frank realizes that home isn't about where you live, it's about who you love and who loves you. Join Frank on his adventure to find his forever home!

A portion of all proceeds from Frank the Fish Finds His Forever Home will be donated to a non-profit organization supporting adoption.

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."
– Laura

“I really like Frank the Fish. I liked it when the man found Frank in his bowl on the shelf.”

“I love it, it’s such a cute story!”

I bought this book to use with clients in therapy who are going through the process of adoption and those who have been adopted. This book is a great resource to use in therapy and in general for children! The illustrations in the book match the story so perfectly. My little ones in therapy love looking at the pictures! Thank you so much to the author and the illustrator for this amazing book!

Charming story beautifully illustrated. Explores the thoughts, fears, and hopes of children in need of their forever home. Lessons for all of us. Look forward to following the challenges and growth of Frank the Fish as I hear that more books are coming.
Could easily be applied to the lives of pets and their need for a secure forever home.

I have known my entire life that I was adopted….. so this book really spoke to me. Despite being an adult now, the story is beautiful.
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.
