This beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of a fish with shimmering scales of every color, who learns the value of sharing and friendship.

When a small fish asks him for just one scale, the Rainbow Fish initially refuses, but eventually gives in and donates one of his scales to the small fish. This act of generosity sets off a chain reaction, as the Rainbow Fish continues to give away his scales to other fish in need.
