This story is about a young girl who overcomes a personal obstacle and finds confidence in her artistic ability. Jess and her classmates are painting fish. Jess doesn’t feel confident. As the other children work, she reluctantly starts to paint, but is dissatisfied with the result. She is surprised that her teacher and classmates recognise her painting as a fish and are supportive of her. The experience gives Jess confidence, and she wants to continue painting.
