Reflecting on Author's message

In the book '' Fish in a tree'' by Lynda Mullaly Hunt the author's message to the readers is that it doesn't matter if you act weird or if you can't write all that matters is that you are confident and be nice. Also, you all have talents and you  can show it off no matter what. The author is tying to tell the reader to be , confident, talented, intelligent, and  to fit in. The Author wants the readers to understand that many kids all over face problems where they begin to feel isolated or lonely. The author wants the kids or adults reading ''Fish in a tree'' that every kid has their own problems to deal with. So you should be nice and kind to your classmates, students or colleagues.  This can be seen when in the book it said, "here, Ally.your the best at this.". This quote exemplifies that Ally always thought that because she couldn't
read or write she was useless and dumb. But then she finds out that she is really good at finding things/ identifying things and she is very talented.
