"The Adventures of Lily and Leon" addresses the social stigma surrounding diversity in relationships. The story is told in fun, lighthearted terms so the message is easily understood by a child.

It's a tale about two young fish, Lily, a beautiful white sea bass, and Leon, a sleek black sea bass, who meet under bumpy circumstances in the deep waters of the Green Gulf.

Peer pressure from Lily's schoolfishfriends is fierce. Bonita warns Lily, "It's wrong to swim with a dark-scaled fish when you are white-scaled." Leon is confused and hurt because he's not readily accepted by the fishcommunity. He considers swimming back to The Bay of Bubbles where he would fit in and could comfortably swim with other fish. But, he doesn't want to leave his new friend, Lily.

Lily is only happy when she's dipping and diving in Dragon Fish Lagoon with Leon. She doesn't understand why the color of their skin is an issue with her peers. Both young bass are deeply affected by the opinions of Lily's schoolfishfriends, which nearly keeps them from developing a friendship.

Through their underwater games and adventures, and their brush with the dangerous Seafalcons, they're eventually able to learn, and then teach others, that it's okay when friends come in many colors.
