Synopsis

"A shy little octopus tries playing with new friends, and has fun doing it, but still retreats to the safety of the deep alone. Soon, however, Octopus decides she likes being among others and sets out to join them. A great story for encouraging kids who may be a little shy." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

From the author of Little Owl's Night comes a new book about shy Octopus who lives on a lively reef, and what happens when she finds herself in a new place far from home, wonderfully, peacefully alone. As she did in Little Owl's Night, Divya Srinivasan shows children a wonderful part of the natural world in a very warm-hearted way.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Octopus loves living on the busy reef under the sea. From her cozy cave, she can see clown fish, and sea turtles, and little butterflies swimming by. She especially loves watching the seahorses having fun, wiggling and twirling. Sometimes she will play with them, but occasionally Octopus just wants to be alone, somewhere quiet, and not so busy. So one day, she swims far, far beyond the reef and finds another cozy cave, only here she is perfectly, wonderfully alone. It is exactly what she wanted . . . until she's ready to go back home to be with her friends.

About the Author:

Divya Srinivasan lives in Austin, Texas. Her other books are Little Owl's Night, Little Owl's Day, and the soon to be released Little Owl's Snow. She also illustrated the picture book, Cinnamon, written by Neil Gaiman.
