What I want is to like myself, just the way I am.

Ockley hates being an octopus because as the only octopus at school, he is often the butt of jokes. But when he meets a wise old hermit crab, how he sees himself starts to change.

A charming tale full of inspiring tools to empower young readers to build self-confidence and embrace their own individuality, as well as appreciating it in others.
