This delicate picture book about a quiet little octopus that keeps to himself in a school of lively fish explores the topic of shyness and friendship. Stunningly illustrated by bestselling creator of Hug Me, Simona Ciraolo, this book is sure to resonate with young children across the world, particularly those who are just starting school.
"Gorgeous, muted illustrations show an entrancing variety of sea life and the personalities of each creature carry the story rather than the awkward prose and inconsistent storyline (that dance sequence is delightful but extraneous)." -- Kirkus Reviews
Simona Ciraolo is a Sardinian-born author and illustrator whose witty and endearing tales recently won her the Sebastian Walker Award.
