About this listen

Meet Speedy, a vibrant Blue Betta, also known as a Siamese Fighting Fish and Betta Splendens in the world of ichthyology. Living in a small bowl, Speedy finds himself perplexed by the reflection he sees daily, mistaking it for a rival Blue Betta.

With the spirit of a Japanese fighting fish, Speedy prepares diligently to defend his territory, training harder each day to become faster and stronger. His determination grows as he waits for his adversary to return. But then, a realization dawns on him: there is no need for an actual fight.

This delightful children's book, one of the unique books about fish for kids, uses the story of Speedy to teach valuable lessons about personal development for kids. It shows that we can strive to be the best versions of ourselves, building character not through competition with others but by challenging our own reflections.

Speedy the Blue Betta underscores the universal values of self-improvement and internal strength. But it is more than just a book about a Betta fish; it is a tale that inspires everyone to reach higher, just like Speedy does.
