Read an excerpt:

"Stanley loved his Octopus.
He adored the way its skin changed colors.
And how it hid when it was scared.
Sometimes, Stanley wished he could disappear too."

"Stanley loved his Octopus.

He adored the way its skin changed colors.
And how it hid when it was scared.
Sometimes, Stanley wanted to disappear too."

With the book you can:

  • Discuss: Why did Stanley admire his octopus? How did the octopus help him? What does it mean to "find your voice"?
  • Ask the child: Are there times when you feel like Stanley? What helps you feel stronger? If you had a magical animal, what would it be and how would it help you?
  • Play/Create/Imitate: Draw how the octopus changes colors according to its emotions. Perform a shadow play with figures from the story.
