Ursula finds confidence in seeing the world her own way in another innovative, flipped-format picture book from Caldecott Honor and Geisel Award winner Corey R. Tabor.

Ursula is a happy catfish, swimming through a shimmering river with weeds waving above and a sky full of scrumptious bugs below.

Then one question turns her world upside down.

Is left right? Is right wrong? Which way even is up?

Children will love turning the book upside down and back again as they follow Ursula's humorous journey to self-discovery.
