Only One You is an inspirational children's book about Adri, a little fish who is about to go explore the ocean on his own. His parents remind him that "you don't have to follow the crowd" to find your way.

The book stresses how everyone is unique, and that each of us have something to contribute to the world.

"There’s only one you in this great big world. Make it a better place."
